Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries, washed
  • 1 cup fresh or canned corn kernels
  • 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup celery stalks, chopped

Dressing

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (dill or parsley), chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cook the chicken breast using your preferred method such as grilling, roasting, or poaching. Allow it to cool completely, then dice into bite-sized pieces for easy mixing.
  2. Prep the Fresh Ingredients: Wash the blueberries thoroughly. Chop the celery and slice the red onion thinly. If using fresh corn, boil or grill the ear and then cut the kernels off the cob.
  3. Combine the Salad Components: In a large bowl, gently toss together the diced chicken, blueberries, corn kernels, chopped celery, and sliced red onion to evenly distribute all ingredients.
  4. Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, lemon juice, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
  5. Dress and Chill: Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and fold gently to coat all ingredients without crushing the blueberries. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld beautifully before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for the best texture and flavor.
  • Don’t overdress the salad to keep it light and fresh.
  • Chill the salad before serving to combine flavors and improve texture.
  • Prep ingredients ahead of time to save mealtime effort.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding a drizzle of honey or sprinkle of sugar if desired.
