On weekday mornings, I whip up this fun chicken and blueberry combination in minutes to take for lunch. It also works as a nice light salad for a summer supper, and it's a cinch to double it for a shower or potluck. -Kari Caven, Coeur d'Alene, ID

BLUEBERRY CHICKEN SALAD

I found this recipe in a TOH bonus book and it sounds great. I am always looking for ways to add extra fruit or veggies to or meals. It sounds like a nice cool summer meal that I can't wait to try in a pita or croissant. I think this would be a great appetizer on endive leaves.

This was a popular salad served at the Marshall Field's restaurants. It makes a nice main dish for a summertime picnic because it is mayo free. Also, this is an excellent main course for a luncheon. Your family and friends will enjoy the unique combination of blueberries and rosemary in this dish.
