1/2 cup fresh blackberries
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon soy sauce

Directions

Step 1 -In a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, add the chicken breasts and sauté until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F and the juices run clear, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Step 2 -Place the cooked chicken breasts on a plate and tent them with aluminum foil to keep them warm.

Step 3 -In a large bowl, add the spring mix and arrange 1 cup of the blackberries, the avocado, the red onion, and the walnuts on top.

Step 4 -In a medium bowl, add the remaining blackberries, the Dijon mustard, the balsamic vinegar, the olive oil, the honey, and the soy sauce and, with a fork, mash the blackberries to release the juices.

Step 5 -Whisk the dressing mixture to combine.

Step 6 -Add the salt and the black pepper to the dressing mixture and whisk to combine.

Step 7 -On a cutting board with a sharp knife, add the cooked chicken breasts and slice.

Step 8 -Add the chicken on top of the salad.

Step 9 -Serve the salad drizzled with the dressing.
