Ingredients
- Chicken: One small chicken breast should do.
- Lettuce: We prefer Spring Mix for this salad.
- Tomatoes: We use a small handful of grape tomatoes and slice them in half.
- Cucumber: English cucumbers are our go-to cucumber because they have less seeds.
- Red onion: Just a little red onion. You don't want it to overpower the salad.
- Apple chips: I like the Seneca brand. We buy the plain non-flavored variety.
- Walnuts: Walnuts are great salad toppers. We keep salad nuts frozen so they will retain their freshness.
- Goat cheese: Goat cheese has a creamy texture and is great on salads. Gorgonzola would work for this recipe as well.
- Poppyseed dressing: We prefer this over the Fuji Apple Salad Dressing by Panera
