Making Grilled Chicken Salad is simple and enjoyable! Just follow these easy steps:

6. Prepare the Salad Base: In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
7. Slice the Chicken: After resting, slice the chicken into strips and add it to the salad.
8. Add Feta Cheese: Sprinkle feta cheese on top if desired.
9. Dress the Salad: Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette or your dressing of choice over the salad.
10. Toss to Combine: Give the salad a gentle toss to mix all ingredients. Serve immediately.
