Raspberry Pecan Chicken Salad

by Holly

good lettuce ( bib, romaine, Boston, or spring mix)

pecans or walnuts toasted in butter and brown sugar

feta and blue cheese ( crumbled )

apples ( diced )

cranberries (Ocean Spray Dried Cranberries )

grilled chicken sliced or use Tyson Grilled Chicken Breast Strips

raspberry walnut vinaigrette ( I like Newman's )

**************************

  • This is a great salad any time or season of the year !

  • Do you have left over chicken from a Bar-B-Q ? Pull it apart to use on your salad - or grab a bag of Tyson's Ready to Serve Grilled Chicken

  • Either toast your own nuts or grab a can of Honey Roasted Pecans or Walnuts a good handful or two

  • Use good lettuce - a large bag of prewashed and packaged lettuce

  • core and dice an apple

  • grab a bag of Craisins a good handful or two

  • small container of feta or blue cheese crumbled - use as much or as little as you like

  • Good Raspberry Vinaigrette - don't drown your salad!!!! but do coat everything
Toss all the ingredients gently together and top with chicken strips.... This is also good with fried chicken strips purchased from the store .... just slice them up on the diagonal and place on top of the salad.... YUM>....
