Ingredients

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup strawberry preserves
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
1 head red leaf lettuce
1 cup sliced strawberries

Steps:

Combine olive oil, preserves, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and sea salt in the bowl of a small food processor. Pulse several times, until dressing is combined. Pour into a serving container and set aside.

Tear remaining lettuce leaves and add to the bed of whole leaves. Arrange strawberries, blueberries, and feta cheese crumbles on top of the torn lettuce. Sprinkle with sliced almonds and drizzle with strawberry vinaigrette. Refrigerate any remaining dressing in a sealed container, up to 5 days.

For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken or shrimp and add in extra vegetables, such as zucchini, broccoli, or mushrooms.
If you don't have any cherry tomatoes, you can use chopped regular tomatoes instead.
To make the dish even more flavorful, use a flavorful cheese, such as Parmesan or Asiago.
If you like spicy food, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
Serve the pasta immediately, topped with fresh basil or parsley.
