feta cheese

🥗Healthier: goat cheese

💰Cheaper: cotage cheese

Goat cheese offers a tangy flavor while cottage cheese is more budget-friendly.

poppyseed dressing

🥗Healthier: vinaigrette

💰Cheaper: homemade dressing

Vinaigrette is lighter, and homemade dressing can save costs.

Start by making the dressing with orange juice, minced red onion, poppy seeds, apple cider vinegar, and honey.

Blend the dressing ingredients together until smooth.

Prepare the salad by using a mix of bitter greens like frissee, endive, and escarole.

Season the greens with salt and cracked pepper.

Add chopped chives to the greens.

Drizzle the homemade dressing around the bowl of greens.

Massage the greens to incorporate the dressing well.

Plate the salad starting with the seasoned greens.

Add sliced strawberries on top of the greens.

Place sliced grilled chicken on top of the salad.

Add thinly sliced fennel on top, using a mandolin for even slices.

Finish with a little more dressing on top.
