- Cook the plums — Add remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Halve and pit the plums, slice each half. Add plum slices to the pan and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
- Make the dressing — In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the salad — In a large salad bowl, combine mixed salad greens, warm chicken strips, and caramelized plums. Drizzle the honey balsamic dressing over.
- Add walnuts and serve — Sprinkle the salad with chopped walnuts for crunch. Toss gently and serve immediately while warm.
