Squatting
Lunging
Hinging

Delicious and satisfying. Yum!

Spring called… and it wants this salad on repeat 🌸🥗

Sweet, juicy berries meet crisp greens, creamy avocado, and tender chicken—all tossed in a light honey balsamic drizzle that just feels like sunshine in every bite.

It’s fresh, colorful, and comes together in minutes—aka exactly what your spring meals have been waiting for.
