Steps:
- Preheat grill to medium-high.
- Combine 1 cup strawberries, vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a blender. Blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in oil. Transfer 1/2 cup of the vinaigrette to a large bowl. Add ketchup and preserves to the blender and pulse until smooth.
- Sprinkle chicken with the remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Oil the grill rack. Grill the chicken until it releases easily, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and baste with the BBQ sauce from the blender. Cook, flipping and basting every 15 seconds, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Add spinach, almonds, feta, basil and the remaining 1 cup strawberries to the vinaigrette; toss to combine. Serve the salad topped with the chicken.

Tips:
- To select the best strawberries, look for plump, bright red berries with no bruises or blemishes. They should also have a sweet smell.
- To remove the spinach stems easily, hold the spinach bunch by the root end and run your fingers down the stems. The stems will easily snap off.
- If you don't have any cooked chicken on hand, you can use a rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled or roasted chicken.
- For a more flavorful salad, use a variety of nuts and seeds. Some good options include walnuts, almonds, pecans, and sunflower seeds.
- If you don't have any feta cheese, you can use another type of cheese, such as goat cheese or blue cheese.
- To make a vinaigrette dressing, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, and salt and pepper. You can also add herbs, such as basil or thyme, for extra flavor.
