Healthy Recipe: Sweet Summer Salad


It's summertime. It's hotter than blazes outside and my motivation for slaving over a hot stove for dinner is at an all time low. I had some fruit leftover from our 4th of July festivities, so I threw together a salad today that turned out so awesome that I just had to share it with you guys!

What you will need:
-Something green. This salad would probably be best with spinach, but I only had a head of iceberg and it still turned out really delicious.
-Blueberries
-Strawberries
-Granny Smith apples
-Turkey bacon (or regular bacon if you're feeling naughty)
-Sliced almonds
-Green onions
-Chicken breast (rotisserie chicken if you're busy/lazy)
-Lite raspberry vinaigrette dressing
I was out of feta cheese, but I think that would also be a nice addition to this salad.

There is nothing special to assembling this salad. I left the blueberries whole, cut the strawberries into slices, diced the apples, cut up the bacon, and shredded the chicken breast. I topped it with a little raspberry dressing and boom, baby! Dinner is served. This salad was so good that my fiance and I ate the whole bowl of it. It is perfect if you're like me and have a hard time eating produce before it goes bad in your fridge. 


Let me know if you try this recipe out or if you add something different! I would love to hear from you. Follow me on twitter @butterybiscuit7 and on Instagram @bridgetb2011!
