- Prepare the chicken, or get it precooked (like I did -- it's easy). Slice the fruit.
- Combine strawberries, oranges, honey, balsamic vinegar, and half of the olive oil. Set aside and let rest.
- Remove and discard stalks from kale and spinach. Tear into manageable pieces, but keep kale and spinach separate.
- Cover kale with lemon juice, olive oil, and salt. Then, crush (or 'massage') the kale until it start to soften.
- Mix everything together, and top with almonds, goat cheese, and black pepper.
