May 26, 2023

This Chick-a-licious Fruity Green Salad recipe by Hungry Girl’s Lisa Lillien just screams Spring and Summer. Packed with healthy ingredients including tender chicken, nutritious fruits, salad greens, and nuts, this mouthwatering salad is ideal as a light meal for lunch or dinner. Complemented by a refreshing low-fat raspberry or balsamic vinaigrette, it takes just 10 minutes to make and can easily be adapted to include fresh fruits of your choice for a delicious salad in any season. This recipe calls for a yellow peach and blueberries. Yellow peaches are available in the Spring and Summer months and have a sweet tangy flavor that mellows out as the peaches ripen and soften. Fresh  blueberries are in season from April until late September in the United States but can be bought at grocery stores year around. Of course, you can make this salad with a medley of your favorite greens.
