Spending huge amounts of our income on food became an annoyance to me. I'd rather go to Europe thank you very much!! We wanted four things, to eat well and enjoy our meals while keeping our weight and our expenses under control. Incentive was born and I started to do something about it. I hope to use this Blog to share what I've discovered.

Blueberry chicken salad

Blueberry chicken salad


Blueberries have become a part of the anti-cancer arsenal due to the fact that they are the berries richest in anthocyanosides, one of the most powerful antioxidants in the prevention of cancer cell growth.

This lunch type salad is a great way to add blueberries into your diet, as well as increasing your consumption of leafy greens and lower-fat meat.

Feta cheese and pecans add a decadent feel to the dish.



4 cups sliced Belgian endive (about 2 large heads)
1 cup gourmet salad greens
1 1/2 cups chopped roasted skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup fresh blueberries


Combine first four ingredients in large bowl.

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tbsp chopped pecans, toasted



Dressing:


2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp honey
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper


Combine vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper; stir with whisk.

Add dressing to endive mixture; toss gently.

Sprinkle with cheese and pecans.

This is a great tasting cancer fighting meal, the Belgian endive may be pricey.
