1. Cook Pasta: Begin by boiling water in a large pot. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
2. Prepare Chicken: If you haven’t already, cook your chicken by grilling, baking, or boiling until fully cooked. Let it cool and then dice or shred it.
3. Slice Strawberries: Wash and slice the fresh strawberries, setting them aside for later use.
4. Mix Greens: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed greens and thinly sliced red onion.
5. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooled pasta, cooked chicken, sliced strawberries, and feta cheese into the bowl with greens.
6. Add Nuts: If using, toss in the chopped walnuts or pecans for an added crunch.
7. Dress the Salad: Pour balsamic vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss everything together until well combined. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
8. Serve Immediately: For the best flavor, serve the salad immediately. However, it can also be chilled in the refrigerator for up to an hour before serving.
