CHICKEN AND RASPBERRY SALAD WITH APRICOT VINAIGRETTE



The raspberries at the Farmer's Market were beautiful this week. I brought a basket home and then started thinking about what to do with them. A nice salad came to mind so I tried out this recipe using rotisserie chicken from the store, toasted almonds, goat cheese, mixed greens, raspberries and a apricot preserve vinaigrette. The combination of flavors were really good and this came together in a flash. A perfect, light, summer salad.
