Pecan, Chicken and Green Apple Salad

February 15, 2014 by Jodie 2 Comments

I don’t know about you, but after Valentine’s Day and all the sugar rush that is involved, a good salad is what I want. And after the particularly extravagant holiday my family just had, we might be eating salad for the next month. So here comes one of my favorites: Pecan Chicken Green Apple Salad. I love all the ingredients in this and it’s easy to throw together for the whole family.

I’ve mentioned before my strange relationship with salads and how I pick one and then eat it everyday until I’m sick of it.

Well, this is my current obsession. I just love all the textures and flavors in this salad and I don’t know if I’ll get sick of it anytime soon. Which is good, because I sure could use more salad in my life.

Most of the rest of my family are pretty much ranch people. For salads, for dipping pizza and anything else unhealthy. But I love a good vinaigrette. And they’re best when you whip them up yourself.
