This chicken and nectarine poppy seed salad has grilled chicken, blueberries, nectarines, almonds, spinach, and homemade poppy seed dressing.
SCALE
INGREDIENTS
- 2 large chicken breasts (plus salt, pepper, olive oil for seasoning)
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 ripe nectarines
- 6–8 cups baby spinach
- 1/4 cup chopped toasted almonds
- homemade poppy seed dressing (or store-bought)
INSTRUCTIONS
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
