Simple Mixed Green Salad with Chicken and Raspberries


Ingredients:
  • 1 {5 0z} bag mixed baby greens, washed
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken {I use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken from the market}
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup raspberry or dark cherry vinaigrette
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries, washed
  • 3/4 cup glazed or candied walnuts {I prefer Emerald Original Glazed Walnuts}
  • 1/2 cup gorgonzola or blue cheese crumbles
  • pepper
  1. In a large salad bowl, combine baby greens and shredded chicken. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss well.
  2. Combine raspberries, walnuts and cheese crumbles. Lightly toss again and serve. Sprinkle with pepper to taste, if desired.
Enjoy!

{Tip!} For salad dressing, I love Nordstrom's Dark Cherry Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing - you can buy it by the bottle in their cafe. Of course, it's not as easy to get my hands on it, so I also use Marie's Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing. They are both on the sweeter side, so you may want to use a little less dressing if you want less of a sweeter taste. Or, use whatever dressing you fancy.
