A Berry Crunchy Salad

Are you looking for a refreshing salad idea? Well, here is one I happened upon when I enjoyed a lunch date with my youngest daughter.

This salad is one that can be served as the main entreé for lunch, or is a delicious addition to the main meal for dinner.

Not only is it incredibly tasty, but it is a beautiful salad as well.

Ingredients:

• 1 bag of romaine lettuce pieces
• 1 pt. of fresh blueberries
• 1 pt. of fresh strawberries, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 6 oz. cans of mandarin oranges, drained
• 1 to 2 cups of pecan halves
• Several ounces of grilled chicken strips (Tyson has these already
• pre-packaged)
• Poppyseed dressing to your liking.

Preparation:

Combine all the ingredients together into a serving bowl.

The dressing can be put over the entire salad, or allow each person to put it on their salad individually.

This salad is filling and will easily feed 6 to 8 people.
