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

A full ingredient list with exact measurements can be found in the recipe card below.
