Oh, wait, I said that already yesterday.
A chicken and nectarine poppy seed salad is basically this: sweet juicy nectarines, bursts of blueberry, delicate baby spinach, lightly spiced grilled chicken, nutty chopped almonds, and homemade sweet poppy seed dressing all in the same bowl.
CHICKEN AND NECTARINE POPPY SEED SALAD

Serves: 4
Recipe Modified from: pinchofyum
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts (plus salt, pepper, olive oil for seasoning)
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 ripe nectarines
- 6-8 cups baby spinach
- ¼ cup chopped toasted almonds
- homemade poppy seed dressing (or store-bought)
Instructions
- Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper, olive oil, and any other seasonings you like. I happened to have a random raspberry chipotle seasoning blend in my cupboard, so I rubbed a little bit into the chicken breasts before grilling - it was SO good! Just use whatever seasonings you like and/or have on hand to give the chicken a little extra flavor.
- Grill the chicken - I used my panini press to get those really nice browned lines. It worked like a charm. Chop the chicken into bite sized pieces or strips.
- Assemble individual salads or toss all ingredients together in a large bowl. Top with poppy seed dressing.
