Radicchio and Butter Lettuce Salad with Blueberries and Kale Chips

I came up with this salad trying to get as many veggies in at the end of a day as possible while adding some crunch and protein, because I had not had any all that day. So I ended up taking a bunch of things I liked and mixing them up with my favorite dressing: olive oil and vinegar with salt and pepper to taste. I think it turned out great! I liked it so much I ate the whole bowl! I hope you'll try it and see what you think.
