Blueberry Salad with Blueberry Vinaigrette
Submitted by: 3moodygirlsExcellent salad with lots of health benefits. I'm not even a big blueberry eater, but this is out of this world!
Ingredients
Salad:8 cups pre-washed mixed salad greens
2 cups already cooked skinless, boneless chicken breast (you can buy the already cooked kind to make it easy)
2 cups fresh blueberries
1 large tomato chopped
1 med. yellow bell pepper chopped (Opt.)
1/2 cup crumbled premium blue cheese (you can also use Feta)
1/4 cup sliced almonds
Blueberry Vinaigrette Dressing:
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup water
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2/3 cup vegetable oil (olive or canola would be healthier and probably taste just as good)
Preparations
Vinaigrette: Rinse and drain blueberries. Put them in a blender or food processor and pulse to finely chop. Add the vinegar, water, onion powder, salt and pepper. Pulse to blend. Turn the motor on low and slowly drizzle the oil into the vinaigrette through the feed tube or top of blender. Blend only until all of the oil is incorporated. Stir in additional water (up to 2 tbsp) if a thinner consistency is desired. Makes about 1 2/3 cups. (Makes Lots)Variations
You can use Feta cheese instead of Blue Cheese. I also leave out the peppers.Prep time: 30 minutes
