Blueberry Acai Mixed Green Salad - #8 of TS Eatwell Choices

We had a family reunion last weekend that required a potluck item (and nothing with peanuts).   Hmm . . . what should I take?  Meat was provided.  I know . . . a green salad.  Must have a TS product.  Yep, have the answer . . . and it was a hit.

Here is the original recipe from the Tastefully Simple website:

Ingredients:
12-16 oz pkg mixed greens
1 medium sweet onion, thinly sliced
1 pint strawberries or blueberries, sliced
3 cooked chicken breasts, sliced
1/2 c walnuts
1/2 c crumbled goat or blue cheese
Blueberry Acai Vinaigrette

Directions:  Layer first 6 ingredients in order listed on a large platter or individual salad plates. Drizzle Blueberry Acai Vinaigrette over salad just before serving.

You should know me by now . . . I never follow recipes exactly.  So, for the reunion, all fresh ingredients - leaf lettuce, shelled peas, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, mushrooms, carrots, zuchini, cucumber, and kohlrabi.  No nuts or meat.

Pictured below is the salad I make for my lunches with 2 oz sliced honey deli ham.

both salads used the vinaigrette as a dressing.  YUM!
