    Start by grilling the chicken breast until cooked through. Season with salt and cracked pepper for added flavor. Set aside to cool slightly before slicing into thin strips.

    Prepare the farro on the stove top by cooking it according to the package instructions. Season with chicken broth, onion powder, oregano, and a splash of lemon juice to enhance its taste. Allow it to cool.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked farro, mixed arugula, and spring salad mix. Toss gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.

    Add the grilled green beans, cut into inch pieces, to the salad mixture. This adds a delightful crunch and vibrant color to the dish.

    Slice the grilled peaches into wedges and add them to the salad. Their sweetness and slightly smoky flavor will complement the other ingredients perfectly.

  6. 6

    Tear the fresh burrata cheese into smaller pieces and scatter them over the salad.

    Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with olive oil for added richness and a silky texture.

    Place the sliced grilled chicken on top of the salad.

    Drizzle the salad with balsamic glaze, which adds a tangy and slightly sweet element to the dish.

    Garnish the salad with fresh basil leaves for a fragrant and herbaceous touch.

    Finally, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the salad just before serving. The citrusy note will brighten up the flavors and bring everything together.
