Chicken Berry Salad

There is a restaurant in town that has a Chicken Berry Salad that I always order when I'm there at lunch.  Everybody loves it!  So I made up a home version that is healthier and cheaper (and I think even better!).

Theirs: Fresh greens, roasted chicken breast, bacon, cashews, water chestnuts topped with fresh strawberries and Blueberry Poppy Seed Dressing
$9.29

Mine: Fresh greens, roasted chicken breast, whole walnuts, goat cheese, topped with fresh strawberries and blackberries, and homemade honey vinaigrette.
about $3 per serving

I used a rotisserie chicken I picked up at Sams, so dinner was ready in about 5 minutes. 

Honey Vinaigrette
Equal parts honey, champagne vinegar, and olive oil.  Salt and pepper.  Shake in a small jar or whisk to combine.  It's a little sweeter than most dressings, but with the tart blackberries, it's perfect.  You can always adjust the amounts to your taste!
