PEACH, BLACKBERRY AND FRESH FIG SALAD WITH GRILLED CHICKEN

This peach, blackberry and fresh fig salad with grilled chicken, almonds and feta is the perfect summer salad! (recipe from rainbowdelicious.com)  I served it without the chicken since it was a side salad for our Go Figgy Bon Appetit dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast
• salt & freshly ground pepper
• 4-5 figs sliced
• 2 peaches rinsed and sliced into bite size pieces
• 1 package blackberries rinsed
• 1/3 C sliced almonds
• 2 oz feta cheese
• 1 head butter lettuce rinsed and sliced into bit sized pieces
• simple balsamic dressing

Instructions

1. Rub chicken with salt and pepper and cook on a medium-high heated grill until cooked through.
2. Take chicken off of grill and let rest on a plate covered in foil while you prepare the rest of the salad.
3. To prepare salad add butter lettuce, figs, blackberries, peach slices, almonds and feta to serving platter or bowl.
4. Cut chicken into pieces and top salad with grilled chicken pieces.
5. Dress salad using a simple vinaigrette. (I made a pomegranate vinegrette.)
6. Enjoy!
