This recipe comes from my SIL. We had it at a recent family reunion and I fell in love with all the flavors and had to have the recipe! She was so kind to consent:) This salad has everything: fruit, chicken, cheese, nuts and tomatoes, then you top it off with a yummy poppy seed dressing that has just the right balance of sweet and tangy! Sooo Good!
Blackberry and Chicken Salad
3 cups mixed greens, including spinach and romaine lettuce
1 pint fresh blackberries

Just before serving, top with:
1 cup grilled chicken chunks, cooled
