Chicken Apple Pecan Salad
Being stuck in the house during this coronavirus shelter in place, lock-in, social distancing thing, although I realize it's necessary, has me a little stir crazy. I have been longing for summer days, hanging at the pool with Fresh Made Strawberry Lemonade or a slice of Rootbeer Float Pie. We are starting to warm up here in Cincinnati, therefore my focus has been on trying to eat lighter lunches. This Chicken Apple Pecan Salad is perfect.
This salad was definitely inspired by my favorite restaurant salads at Wendy's and Panera Bread. However, it seems there are always a couple of things on each salad that I don't like. Therefore, I decided to take a combination of the things that were my favorites and create my own. This time I used a bottled honey crisp apple vinegarette dressing. Pretty sure whatever dressing you were to choose, this salad would be delicious. Granny Smith apples are definitely my favorites but if you prefer fuji or red delicious they would also be great. This recipe calls for cheddar but mozzarella is great with vinegarette dressings.
