Drain the breast fillets and let it cool. Once the chicken is ready, cut it into 1/4-inch strips and set aside.

Meanwhile, make the dressing by combining the vinegar, walnuts, and olive oil in a small saucepan. Place it over medium heat and whisk well ’til the mixture thickens.

Distribute a generous amount of mixed greens on about 4 salad platters. Assemble the breast fillet strips on top, and drizzle with the walnut dressing. Serve immediately.
