When you just can't take one more carrot-tomato-lettuce plate of ho-humness.
Ingredients:
Bag of mixed or spring greens
Fresh blackberries
Handful of fresh basil
1 cucumber
Shredded chicken (rotisserie is handy)
Poppyseed or vinaigrette dressing
Preparation:
Rinse the blackberries. Shred or chop the basil. Shred the chicken. Peel and slice the cucumber.
Cook & Serve:
Mix all ingredients and top with dressing of your choice. A simple homemade vinaigrette is 3 Tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar, a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Shake or whisk to fully combine.
A Little Backstory:
A lot of my recipes use basil, because every year I grow it on my balcony and every year IT SPREADS LIKE A MEDIEVAL RAT PLAGUE. Seriously, I always have too much fresh basil and I'm always discovering new ways to use it. It's delicious, so you're welcome.
