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. &mdash;Susan Gauthier, Falmouth, Maine

This salad is great! The vinaigrette was very thick, but a little extra oil took care of it. I may even try a raspberry vinaigrette using the same recipe. It was delicious, and I'll definitely be making it again!

Great recipe! Made it as written except used fresh mandarin oranges. Very unique flavors. Will make this again. May try different fruits and preserves for variety. Joyce Moynihan, Volunteer Field Editor, TOH.

Made a trip to my local fruit farm for fresh blueberries for this salad.  Made a quick blueberry preserve with some of them for the dressing.  Used feta instead of goat cheese.  Next time I will add some toasted walnuts.

Another marvelous dinner from S&D! I used purchased fajita-seasoned cooked chicken strips and omitted the cheese. I nearly added pistachios and sliced green onions, but I was afraid they'd clash with the dressing. And after taking a few bites I'm glad I left out the extras. My husband, who's just OK with having salad as a meal (it better not happen often!) and is suspicious of any dressing but Thousand Island, raved about it. Thank you, Susan, for sharing the recipe.

Ahh-Mazing!!  I left out the maple syrup in the dressing - honestly kind of forgot - and I don\'t think I\'ll use it next time because it was SO GOOD!  My boyfriend and I are trying to figure out what else we can put the dressing on!  LOL!

Delicious main dish salad that's perfect for warm, summer days. I've made this twice - once with the blueberries and oranges, and once with blueberries and strawberries in place of the oranges. Both were delicious and I've found that I have to double the recipe because my family enjoys it so much! Thanks for the great recipe!

This was a hit with my husband and 3 kids. A definite keeper! The only change I made was making my own blueberry sauce from hand-picked blueberries instead of using blueberry preserves. YUMMY!

My husband and I both loved this salad! His comment was "I could eat this once a week!".

I used the vinaigrette on some mixed greens, sliced red onion, and sliced Persian cucumbers as a side salad. I didn't have goat cheese so I used feta. The vinaigrette is delicious!!!

This is the best salad I have ever made. I might switch the canned mandarin for fresh necatrines but other than it is fantastic!

Delicious! Very very tasty already request for again and again!

This was so good!!! Looking forward to blueberries being in season again to make this! Even such a simple marinade for the chicken was so delicious!

Very good. I made it with strawberries instead of mandarin oranges and my husband thought it was great.

Very attractive dish. I was afraid of all the sweet so I cut the preserves and the balsamic in half.

This is our go-to summer salad! I use fresh nectarine slices, but you could really use any berry/stone fruit combo. Definitely a keeper!

Delicious, colorful and unique with the blueberry vinaigrette. Have included this in our rotation of summer salads. Oh, I added thinly sliced red onion which we felt complemented the blend of flavors.
