Blueberry Lemon Chicken Salad
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken breast, cubed
2 cups blueberries
1/2 cup scallions, chopped
3/4 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
1 lemon, sliced very thin (optional)
salad greens (lettuce, spinach, etc.)
-=[ Dressing ]=-
3/4 cup lemon yogurt
3 Tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon salt
dried red pepper flakes (to taste)Directions
In a bowl combine yogurt, mayonnaise, red pepper flakes and salt. Mix well and set aside to mellow while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
Wash all of the blueberries well making sure to remove any remaining stems and set aside some nice plump ones for the garnish. Chop the celery and bell pepper into very small pieces. None of the pieces should be larger than a blueberry. Chop the chicken and combine everything together in the bowl with the dressing. Mix gently to evenly coat but not mash too many of the blueberries. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for about half an hour to allow the spices to work their magic in the dressing. I like to serve this over a bed of lettuce or spinach but any salad greens work well. Garnish with remaining blueberries. A few fresh lemon slices make for a very pretty presentation.
Serves: 2 to 4

Note
You may notice that some of our recipes do not contain exact measurements for all ingredients. Cooking on the road is an art more than a science. We view each recipe as only a suggestion - a starting point for your own personal creativity.
We aren't usually dealing with food chemistry in these recipes since we aren't baking with leavening, etc., so feel free to use as much or as little of any suggested ingredient. Be creative and imaginative! Substitute the foods you like or have available for the ones in the recipes. And if you find something that turns out well for you, please share it with the rest of us.
