Ingredients

  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 4 chicken cutlets
  • 2 tablespoons Greek seasoning
  • ½ cup feta, diced
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • ¼ cup Kalamata olives
  • ¼ cup bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, diced

  • salt & pepper

For blueberry vinaigrette

  • 1 cup blueberries
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • salt & pepper

Directions

  1. Begin by heating up your grill.
  2. While the grill is heating, liberally season the chicken with Greek seasoning on both sides. Place on the grill when it is fully heated. For more grilling tips, check out the recipe video here.
  3. While the chicken is cooking, place lettuce, tomato, cucumber, olives, bell pepper, feta, blueberries, and fresh dill in a salad bowl. Keep an eye on the chicken and turn it when it's time.
  4. To make the vinaigrette, use a blender, immersion blender, or food processor to blend together blueberries, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and honey—once blended, strain to remove any remaining chunks.
  5. Once the chicken is finished cooking, slice it and place it on top of the salad. Top with salt and pepper and the blueberry vinaigrette. Enjoy!
