Ingredients
To make this easy, healthy blueberry chicken salad, you’ll need
- ½ cup of thinly vertically sliced red onion
- 1/3 cup of diced celery
- ¼ cup of torn fresh basil
- 12 ounces of shredded, skinless, boneless rotisserie chicken
- ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, divided
- ½ cup of plain reduced-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 ½ tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, divided
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 2 cups of fresh blueberries
- 1 package of baby arugula
- 2 teaspoons of extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Combine the onion, celery, basil, and chicken in a medium bowl, and sprinkle the mix with ¼ teaspoon of salt.
Then combine the yogurt, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and honey in a small bowl, and stir it well with a whisk.
Add the yogurt mixture to the chicken mixture, and toss it well so it coats before gently stirring in the blueberries.
Place the arugula, 1 ½ tablespoons of lemon juice, oil, ¼ teaspoon of salt, and pepper in a bowl, and again, toss well to coat.
Divide the arugula mixture evenly among 6 plates, and top each serving with about ¾ cup of chicken mixture.
Enjoy!
