Rainbow Salad with Blood Orange Dressing

Mar 4, 2015 · 18 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This rainbow salad with blood orange dressing is packed full of vibrant flavors, not to mention beautiful colors, and is the perfect combination of fruits and vegetables in a salad, all ingredients of which are organic.

When I placed my first Instacart order (use code PHILIAK125 to get $10 off your first order for new customers!) I was so excited by all the produce offerings on their site that I think I must have ordered #ALLTHEFRUITSANDVEGETABLES lol. I loved getting my order delivered right to my door chuck full of organic produce. I think what surprised me most was the vibrant colors that emanated from the bags!

The first thing I thought of was looking down at my order was that it looked like colors of the rainbow. There was everything from rainbow baby carrots (super adorable by the way) to red peppers and blueberries.

The only way to truly do the produce justice was to showcase it and use as many fruits and vegetables as possible. And what better way to use fresh fruits and vegetables than in a healthy salad?

Made with different color fruits and vegetables, this rainbow salad will bring any dreary day to life, something that is much needed here in Wisconsin. I feel like this winter has just been dragged out, endless, and whenever I think it’s getting better, I wake up to a fresh snowfall. So having something to look forward to that reminds me of brighter times is what I’m all about!

Making the salad is something that doesn’t require a lot of work either. The most involved part comes from cooking the chicken and leek together. But even that takes a total of 2 minutes prep and then 12-15 minutes cooking, a really hands off process during which you’ll be putting everything in a bowl for the salad and making the dressing. And since there are fruits as well as vegetables in the salad, I made a dressing that was a little on the sweeter and tangy side, it really ties the salad together and is made with blood oranges, giving it this gorgeous pink color.

Put everything together: the salad, the chicken, the dressing, and you’re left with one delicious rainbow chicken salad.

    I have such a hard time getting hold of blueberries – wish we had the door-to-door service in SA.
