Grilled Chicken Salad with Blueberry Vinaigrette image

We love adding grilled chicken to our salads in the summer, but the real star here is the vinaigrette made with blueberry preserves and maple syrup. It goes great with a fresh baguette and a frosty glass of minted lemonade. -Susan Gauthier, Falmouth, Maine

I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the walnuts from the recipe. The salad was still delicious.

This salad is really easy to make, but it takes a while to grill the chicken. I recommend marinating the chicken overnight to save time.

I accidentally used balsamic vinegar instead of white wine vinegar. The salad still turned out okay, but the flavor was a bit different.

I had a hard time finding fresh blueberries at the store. I ended up using frozen blueberries and they worked just fine.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with a different vinaigrette.
