Directions
To grill chicken: Place the chicken in a baking dish or a resealable bag. Add olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper. Marinate for at least 30 minutes. Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes per sides.
If you have leftover chicken: In a large bowl, layer the lettuce, strawberries, pineapple, blueberries and oranges. Toss well. Add the chicken and almonds. Drizzle with dressing and add poppyseeds, if desired.
Dressing: Combine the vinegar, orange juice, lime juice, honey, garlic, salt and pepper. Add the olive oil and shake or whisk until dressing is emulsified. Store in refrigerator.
