This anti-inflammatory summer salad is the perfect blend of nourishment and ease—featuring tender grilled chicken marinated in a tangy blueberry-mustard glaze, served over crisp greens and juicy nectarines (or peaches, if that’s what you have on hand!). It’s dairy-free, paleo-friendly, and suitable for elimination diets—making it an ideal recipe for both healing and everyday summer meals. Pair it with a pitcher of fruit- and herb-infused water and a simple platter of raw summer vegetables for a refreshing meal that satisfies without weighing you down.
