• While the chicken tenders are cooking, in an extra-large bowl, add the greens and all the veggies, while keeping a few olives,
• sliced avocados, and whole leaf endives for garnish after mixing
• Mix all the dressing ingredients together
• Remove the organic chicken tenders and slice or cube and add to the bowl Add the crumbled feta (keep some aside for garnish after mixing)

Here’s a tip: If you are planning on serving this right away, it’s fine to mix the dressing in and dish out. However, if you’re placing this on a table, it’s best to keep the salad in one large bowl and the dressing on the side. Just add the dressing right before serving the salad. This will also impress your guests if you put some drama into your mixing technique. 😉
