Update and Redux: J – I would not have thought to put these ingredients together in any form. Christina’s inspiration makes for a wonderful Summer salad. Simple to make. Rich and complex flavors. Works for two or for a crowd. A great Summer salad.
C – Blueberries, pea sprouts and chicken need to go together this Summer.
This bowl of salad really feels like Summer to me. It’s simple, refreshing and filling. I love all the textures and flavors in this salad. It’s wonderful and really easy to make.
The combination is incredible: Crispy, tender pea sprouts, hearty chicken, creamy goat cheese, sweet and juicy blueberries, crispy, toasted walnuts with a tart lemon vinaigrette.
I always try to get every element of a salad all in one bite.
Sometimes, I am successful. Other times, not so much.
This one was a little bit challenging to get it all in a single bite.
But, when you do … and your mouth isn’t completely full of food … it’s worth it.
This salad had small pieces of everything. It was perfect to have all the ingredients on a single fork-full.
