One of my go-to quick meals is a salad from a local drive thru. Since I enjoy it so much, I’ve recreated it at home and it’s even better! You can’t go wrong with a healthy salad, grilled chicken breast, some bleu cheese and a sprinkle of Ocean Spray® Craisins® Dried Cranberries. It’s a lovely combination! Eating healthy can be enjoyable.

CRANBERRY BACON BLEU SALAD #BETTERWITHCRAISINS #AD

Craisins® Dried Cranberries add a little something special to a salad. Their taste, texture, and color – it’s the “zing” that make them unique! I like to use them in yogurt, granola, hot cereal, snack mixes and in baking too. Ocean Spray® Craisins® Dried Cranberries make EVERYTHING taste better! Also, 1/4 cup of Ocean Spray® Craisins® Dried Cranberries provides 1/2 cup of fruit. So have a handful!

This beautiful salad is perfect for one, or guests – adjust the recipe as needed. It can be a whole meal or a side. Use your favorite dressing on it. My choice is French dressing. Mmmm.

If you have noticed Ocean Spray® Craisins® Dried Cranberries have disappeared from your local Sam’s Club, they can still be found at other retailers. I picked up a bag at Woodmans!
