What makes this salad truly special are the apple chips. They add a sweet crunch that takes this salad to a whole new level. You can easily find them in stores, but if you’re up for an adventure, why not make your own?
The ingredients for this salad are simple but flavorful. Start with chicken breasts as your main source of protein. Add in fresh spring greens, cherry tomatoes, and red onion for some crunch and sharpness. Toasted pecan halves and apple chips give the salad its signature crunch, while feta cheese adds a creamy and tangy element. Don’t forget the dried cranberries for a dash of tart fruitiness.
Then, there’s the dressing. A blend of extra-virgin olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, garlic, Dijon mustard, and honey. It’s tangy, sweet, and ties all the salad ingredients together perfectly.
Making this salad is as easy as 1-2-3! Just toss all the salad ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients. Pour the dressing over the salad, toss gently to coat everything evenly, and voila! Your homemade Fuji apple chicken salad is ready to be devoured.
Feel free to switch things up. Use rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken if you’re short on time. Swap the pecans with walnuts or almonds. Experiment with different greens or adjust the sweetness of the dressing. The possibilities are endless.
As for leftovers, they’ll keep in the fridge for 2-3 days. Just make sure to store the dressing separately to avoid a soggy salad.
So why not give this salad a try? It might just become your new favorite!"
