Chicken strawberry feta salad - with a creamy poppyseed dressing.

Days are getting lighter and that little bit warmer. We start to edge away from the hearty warming soups and cozy night casseroles. Instead what we need is a beautiful, refreshing and crisp salad. Amiright?

This wonderful salad combines sweet flavours from the strawberries mixed with saltiness from the feta, with great nutritional value coming from the golden roasted almonds and avocado.
