RECIPE BY Oxmoor House

The açai berry is considered to be a superfood high in antioxidants, amino acids, and essential fatty acids. Some even say that the berry—the fruit of a palm tree native to tropical parts of Central and South America—is one of the most nutritious foods in the world. Serve this salad with multigrain crispbreads such as those made by Wasa.

Prep: 6 minutes

  • 2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast (about 3/4 pound)

I tried this recipe because a friend gave us some acai juice and I was looking for a way to use it instead of drinking it. I used rotisserie chicken and strawberries, blackberries and raspberries instead of the onions and this recipe was awesome! My husband and I enjoyed it so much that I made it again the next night for dinner. Even my husband asked me to forward this recipe to a friend. I would love to share this salad with friends at a potluck or luncheon. I would definitely make this recipe again.
