Berry Salad

These beautiful berries were equally delicious.  And, I’m not ready to say goodbye to berries yet this year.  So, I’m devouring every berry that I see… in every way imaginable.

Berry Salad
makes 1

6 strawberries, halved
one handful of blueberries
1/2 green apple, diced with the skin on
bleu cheese, big crumbs
roasted pecans and/or almonds
2-3 handfuls of chopped romaine, washed
chicken breast, grilled or poached, sliced
one handful of granola, to garnish

In a large salad bowl, place chopped lettuce.  Top with halved berries, apple pieces, and blue cheese crumbs.  Then, sprinkle a few pieces of roasted pecans on top.  Slice chicken breast.  Arrange the sliced chicken over the center of the salad.  Sprinkle the granola on top.  Drizzle lightly with dressing of your choice.

Strawberry Vinaigrette
to top salad

splash red wine vinegar
splash of olive oil
one Tablespoon strawberry preserves (or blueberry)
fine sea salt
freshly ground black pepper

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients.  Season with salt and pepper to your taste.  Drizzle lightly over your salad.

This is what’s for lunch…

…for as long as I can find berries at the market.
