Blackberry Salad with Chicken, Goat Cheese and Candied Pecans

February 3, 2014

Anyone else need to eat healthy salads this week?

Blackberry Salad with Chicken
So that game was horrendous. I’m a Bears fan, of course, so I wasn’t rooting for either side, just hoping for somewhat of a battle. The good news is I consumed 7 different delicious dips, watched one of my favorite artists, Bruno Mars, give a too short but amazing performance, and now I finally get my husband back until August.

What was your favorite commercial? I’m going with the Budweiser commercial with the puppy and the horse – I literally got tears in my eyes and held Izzy like I would never see her again.

Salad with Blackberries and Chicken

As I mentioned I ate 7 different dips and god knows what else so it’s definitely going to be a salad kind of week.

This Blackberry Salad is incredibly satisfying and refreshing. I didn’t use a ton of ingredients, just really good ones that pair nicely together like sweet candied pecans and tangy goat cheese. I used blackberries because I am loving them right now and they are sooooo pretty. Strawberries, raspberries, grapes or even a green apple would also be good substitutes if you’re not into blackberries.

Blackberries

Let’s talk about candied pecans for just a sec. I didn’t have the time to make “real ones” like THESE so I just stuck them in a pan with brown sugar until it melted and let them cool on parchment paper – it worked! Like really well and it was incredibly easy. Of course you can buy candied pecans, but this is a great simple “tip,” if you will, for your back pocket.

Healthy Chicken Salad

Top this salad off with your favorite vinaigrette, I used raspberry, and adds TONS of goat cheese. Delish.
