Directions for making your own Crunchy Blueberry Chicken Salad
- First we grill the chicken breast (simple seasoning salt, pepper, whatever else you like on it). When it is done you chop it into cubes (or stripes). Then, take a large bowl and mix in the greens, almond flakes, blueberries, and chicken breast. Toss and turn until it is well mixed.
- Now for the dressing, you put the olive oil, blueberries, honey and vinegar into a blender and shake it until the concoction is nice and smooth. Taste, then add pepper and salt to your liking.
- Pour dressing over the salad portion to your liking. I personally enjoy mine with an extra side of dressing, but you will find the salad nice and juicy just from the ingredients.
