Chicken Blueberry Poppyseed Salad

Chicken and Nectarine Poppy Seed Salad


Description

This chicken and nectarine poppy seed salad has grilled chicken, blueberries, nectarines, almonds, spinach, and homemade poppy seed dressing.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts (plus salt, pepper, olive oil for seasoning)
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 2 ripe nectarines
  • 68 cups baby spinach
  • 1/4 cup chopped toasted almonds
  • homemade poppy seed dressing (or store-bought)

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper, olive oil, and any other seasonings you like. I happened to have a random raspberry chipotle seasoning blend in my cupboard, so I rubbed a little bit into the chicken breasts before grilling – it was SO good! Just use whatever seasonings you like and/or have on hand to give the chicken a little extra flavor.
  2. Grill the chicken – I used my panini press to get those really nice browned lines. It worked like a charm. Chop the chicken into bite sized pieces or strips.
  3. Assemble individual salads or toss all ingredients together in a large bowl. Top with poppy seed dressing.

Notes

Nutrition information includes dressing (about 3 tablespoons of the homemade stuff).
