Chicken Spinach Blueberry Salad with Parmesan Cheese

The ingredient combination in this salad is surprisingly good. The chicken can be grilled or sautéed in a pan, but rotisserie is a fast option. Spinach is a great low carb salad green and has a great texture.

I added just enough red onion to provide a slight sweet onion flavor while the blueberries add an occasional burst of spicy fruity flavor. Toasted almonds offer crunch and Parmesan cheese adds a salty-sweet-nutty component which balances nicely with the acidic dressing.
