Happy Monday! I hope that you all had a great weekend? Mine was so nice. Major family time. Pia, Coco and Pete took me out for a “fancy” surprise dinner at Canlis on Friday night, a Seattle institution and our favorite place to celebrate anything special.
Saturday was super mellow, and I almost didn’t know what to do with myself not having to work or hustle the kids around- it was SO Nice. And Sunday I spent time at our new office (I can’t wait to show you the before and after pictures) and then threw a family birthday party for my sister. Overall- a really nice weekend. Also, I ate quite a lot. Including waffles both morning. Sooooo, I’m pretty much ready for a Monday reboot!
This Chicken, Blueberry, Avocado Power Salad is my new favorite right now. I always add chicken and avocados to my salads, but I just love this interesting mix of hearty greens and the little pops of juicy fresh blueberries. The Balsamic-Honey Dressing is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I love this for lunch or a light dinner- enjoy!
- Chicken, Blueberry Avocado Power Salad:
- 8 cups power greens (baby kale, chard and spinach)
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breasts
- 1 ripe avocado cut into slices
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 watermelon radish, thinly sliced
- Balsamic-Honey Dressing:
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup olive oil
- kosher salt
- In a large bowl or platter, make a bed of the power greens. Arrange the cooked shredded chicken, avocado slices, blueberries, green onions and radish slices on the greens.
- In a small bowl whisk together the garlic, mustard, honey, vinegar and olive oil and then season to taste with kosher salt.
- Drizzle the dressing over the greens and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Hi Heather! I prepared this salad for a salad luncheon yesterday and it was THE hit! I love this dressing and I think it rivals the one used on my favorite salad at a local restaurant. Thanks Heather! Patsy
