Blueberry Chicken Antioxidant Salad

BLUEBERRY CHICKEN ANTIOXIDANT SALAD ELIMINATION DIET-1

Serve this antioxidant-rich and anti-inflammatory salad for an easy lunch or light dinner. All of the ingredients can be meal prepped on the weekend and stored in individual containers in order to create quick lunches throughout the week. Arugula, radishes, and cabbage are part of the cruciferous family of vegetables, which stimulate your cells to begin producing more antioxidant and detoxification compounds! Blueberries are high in fibers that feed beneficial bacteria, and high in anti-inflammatory phytonutrients such as anthocyanins—a class of compounds that give blueberries their bright bluish-purple color! Basil is a concentrated source of several polyphenols that combat oxidative stress in the body!

This is absolutely delicious! I might try it with Napa cabbage instead of red because I just don’t love the textured. But so, so good.

This was absolutely delicious! I ended up using your Blueberry Vinegarette instead of the dressing that came with it. I also added avacado.

Our new favorite salad!!! I’m not able to tolerate red/purple/green cabbage, so I subbed with Napa and it makes such a light crunchy salad! And I’ve grilled the chicken with a marinade you use for the cider-herbed chicken thighs too.
I could eat this every day. Actually, truth be told….. we have been eating this several times per week this summer. Will take it on vacation with us in a few weeks. YUM!!!
Thank you for this!

This salad is SOOO delicious, and the colors of the foods all together is gorgeous!! It was my first summery salad food after school let out, and the flavors really shouted out "SUMMER!!" to me! I've made it several times, for family and friends and all have loved it. Thanks for the terrific recipe!! (Also I accidentally bought pepitos that were spicy--but it turned out to be a great addition!)
