Thoroughly wash the romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and carrots. Chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, thinly slice the red onion, and julienne the carrot.

Combine Salad Base

In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, and julienned carrot. Toss lightly to mix.

Add Toppings

Top the salad with grilled chicken strips, crumbled feta cheese, sliced almonds, and dried cranberries.
