Introduction

"The sweet-tart burst of blueberries is a playful addition to a creamy chicken salad Be sure to dry the berries thoroughly before adding them; any water on them will thin the dressing."

This is a delightful, refreshing salad I found in Cooking Pleasures magazine. It is packed full of flavor. "The sweet-tart burst of blueberries is a playful addition to a creamy chicken salad Be sure to dry the berries thoroughly before adding them; any water on them will thin the dressing."
