A huge congratulations to Sarah & Daniel from 20 Something Cupcakes. They got engaged!!! Sarah shares their story over here. What a roller coaster that was, way to hold on tight and keep on going!
And now, I’d like to share Sarah’s killer Grilled Chicken Salad with Blackberry Vinaigrette. My mouth waters just looking at those words.
Blackberry.
Vinaigrette.
Yum yum yum!
But don’t take my word for it… go make your own!

Chicken Salad +
Blackberry Vinaigrette
Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 – 3 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 shallot, chopped
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 10 ounces mixed greens
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 large chicken breasts, grilled
- 2 mangos, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 2 avocados, halved, pitted, and sliced
- 1/3 cup shelled pistachios {I like roasted/salted}
Recipe:
- To make the vinaigrette, combine blackberries and lemon in a small food processor and purée. Strain liquid into a jar and add honey (start with 2 teaspoons and taste for more later), mustard, shallot, vinegar, and oil. Shake to combine; season to taste.
- Arrange greens on a platter or large salad bowl. Add onion, chicken breast, mangoes, avocados, and pistachios. Serve with the blackberry vinaigrette.
