Strawberry Salad with Apple Basalmic Vinaigrette

It's strawberry season around here, so that means not only are they tastier, but they are cheaper too! My kids and I absolutely love this time of year. Most of the time we just eat the berries as is or with some whipped cream, but this simple salad is a great way to enjoy them too.
This vinaigrette is pretty strong on its own, but it totally works in this salad. I wanted to make a vinaigrette that I could make anytime, from pantry staples, without a bunch of extra sugar. I hope you like the result as well as I do.

Serves 4

For the Vinaigrette:
2 T apple cider vinegar
2 T basalmic vinegar
1/4 C apple juice
1/2 C vegetable oil
1 pinch (about 1/16 tsp) kosher salt
1 pinch (about 1/16 tsp) onion powder
2 turns of a pepper shaker

For the Salad:
4 cooked chicken tenders, sliced
4 handfuls Mixed Baby Greens
1 lb Strawberries, cut into bite-size pieces
1/4 C red onion, cut into bite-size pieces
2 T honey roasted sliced almonds (or sunflower seeds)

To make the vinaigrette:
Whisk all ingredients together.

To make the salad:
Toss all ingredients together with 1/3 C vinaigrette.
Divide between 4 plates.
Drizzle with more vinaigrette if desired.
Serve and enjoy!
