Crunchy Poppyseed Chicken Salad

This is such a yummy summer salad! I found it on Kraft Food and made it for dinner tonight! It would be great as a side but I made it as our meal! It's so crunchy and yummy and surprisingly filling!

1 bag Broccoli Slaw (about 4 cups) (you can find this at the grocery store by the salad mixes)
2 large red peppers, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
4 carrots, shredded (about 2 cups) (Some of the Broccoli Slaw Mixes already have carrots in them)
1 can (8 oz.) pineapple tidbits, drained
1 pkg. (6 oz.) Chicken Breast Cuts (I bought a case of precooked chicken slices but you could also cut up a grilled chicken breast)
1/2 cup Creamy Poppyseed Dressing
1/4 cup PLANTERS Cashews

COMBINE all ingredients except dressing and cashews in large bowl.
ADD dressing; toss to coat.
SPRINKLE with cashews just before serving.

WHOLE WHEAT BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

1 egg
1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. canola oil
1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 c. honey or agave nectar(this is what I use for everything!)
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. blueberries (I used dried blueberry's from costco)

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line muffin tin and muffin cups. Beat egg; stir in milk and oil. Mix in remaining ingredients except blueberries just until flour is moistened. Batter should be lumpy. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full and bake about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 12 muffins. (I cooked mine 20 minutes and they were a little too dark)
