Summer Berry Salad serves 4-6
Don't mind the cantaloupe, that was for dessert! |
1 head of Romaine, washed and chopped
1/2 Cucumber, peeled and diced
6 or 7 Strawberries, washed and sliced
1/2 Cup Blueberries, washed
2 Grilled Chicken Breasts, sliced *optional
Brianna's Poppy Seed Dressing
Mix all ingredients, except dressing, in a large bowl or keep ingredients separate to have family members build their own salad.
I chose to separate all of the ingredients. I just liked how they looked in different colored bowls! It also made it easy for everyone to have every kind of produce on their plate while controlling the amount of chicken.
Dress your salad with about 2 Tbsp of dressing.
Enjoy!
