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

This salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled chicken. I also like to add some crumbled bacon or feta cheese for extra flavor.
