Fall Chicken Salad Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 oz Spring Lettuce Mix or Romaine
- 2-3 Small Apples (I use like Honey Crisp)
- 1/3 Cup Roasted Pecans
- 1/3 Cup Dried Cranberries
- 1/4 Cup Crumbled Bleu Cheese (Can substitute for feta)
- Cooked and Diced Seasoned Chicken
- 1 Lemon
Dressing
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1.5 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic
Instructions
1. Prepare the chicken for the salad. I like to grill my chicken but it can be
cooked in an oven or airfryer. For a quick meal use a store bought rotisserie chicken. Once cooked, chop into bite sized pieces.
2. Roast the pecans. Roast them by lining a tray with parchment paper and
placing the pecans in a single layer. Toast them for about 4-5 minutes at 350
degrees F watching carefully to avoid burning. Place the lettuce in a large
bowl. Top with pecans, cranberries, and bleu cheese. Add the prepared
chicken.
3. Slice the apples into thin slices. Toss the slices with 1-2 teaspoons of freshly
squeezed lemon juice. Add to the salad.
4. For the dressing: finely mince the garlic. Combine all the ingredients in a jar
with a lid. Shake until well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Top the salad with dressing right before serving and enjoy.
