Ingredients

Dressing:

1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Salad:

1 red onion thinly sliced
1 pound grilled chicken breast
4 cups packed spinach
1 large apples of choice thinly sliced, or 2 medium
1/2 cup sliced olives
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk all the dressing ingredients (1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and Kosher salt and pepper) until emulsified. Add in the 1 red onion (sliced) and allow it to marinate until the salad is ready. Slice the grilled chicken and the apples.
In a large salad bowl, add the 4 cups packed spinach, 1 pound grilled chicken breast, 1 large apples of choice, and 1/2 cup sliced olives. Top with the marinated onions and the dressing that's resting at the bottom of the bowl.
Toss and top with 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese.

Notes

use any greens of your choice if you do not like spinach
top with another choice of protein like grilled salmon or shrimp
store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days
in place of sliced apples try fresh strawberries
