Raspberry Walnut Dinner Salad

How long did we eat salads with lettuce, tomato, croutons, bacon bits and dressing.  We were getting fancy if we sliced an onion or a pepper, or maybe an olive or two.  Salads now are a cornucopia of different flavors and textures and this one is no different.

1 10oz. package mixed salad greens, rinsed and dried
1 8oz. package sweetened dried cranberries
1/4 C. sunflower seeds
4 roma tomatoes, chopped
1 avocado, peeled, pitted and diced
1/2 8oz. bottle raspberry walnut vinaigrette
chicken strips, if desired

In a large bowl, toss together the salad greens, cranberries, sunflower seeds and tomatoes.  Top with avocado and chicken strips.  Add vinaigrette and serve.
