Chicken Salad With Dried Blueberries

Submitted by GaylaJ

"I was searching for recipes using dried blueberries, and I found this one on the website of Michigan Blueberry Growers Association. Prep time does not include chill time, but I think it is best after chilling for a couple of hours. Blueberries are full of antioxidants---eat up!"

I chose this recipe because 1) it was unbearable to cook and I wanted something light and 2) I had some cooked chicken in the freezer to use up. With the cost of dried blueberries ($5 for 1/2 cup)....this salad was nice! If cost is not a factor...then this salad was a 4.5 !! I served this over a 2 huge romaine lettuce leaves and fresh corn on the cob. I used my own recipes for the cooked chicken and chutney (Recipe #286497 and Recipe #375626) I had cut the recipe in half and that served 3 quite nicely. Even though the blueberries were really a nice touch, next time, I will might use fresh mango and add some feta cheese.

I original made this recipe from a bag of almonds. I lost the recipe & was going from memory. I am so glad to find it again! If you buy ginger chutney it adds another spicy element. Also I've chopped the chicken finer & made a sandwich out of it... we just LOVE it!

What a great combination of ingredients. The chutney added just the right touch of flavor to the dressing. I also added a sprinkling of crumbled feta cheese when serving. This was a perfect dinner salad!

Hi GaylaJ, I had some dried blueberries that I didn't know what to do with, and came across your recipe...I'm sure glad that I did! This chicken salad is so good with the blueberries...my DH and I had this for lunch today, and it was a real treat. Will be making this again for sure! Thanks....Hazeleyes

I was a little unsure about this recipe at first, but I made it tonight for dinner and it turned out really well. However, I did not have dried blueberries, so I used dried cranberries instead! I'll definitely have to make it again using the blueberries. Thanks!
