Pecan Chicken Salad

If I had to pick the #1 salad my family makes ALLLLL the time on constant repeat, it would have to be this Pecan Chicken Salad with apples, cranberries and goat cheese.

The real magic is in the quick Maple-Balsamic Dressing. It’s all a breeze to throw together and is completely adaptable … and CRAAAAZY delicious, every single time!

- apple - greens - pecans - cranberries - chicken breasts - balsamic vinegar

Place greens in a large serving bowl, layering in some of the apples, pecans, dried cranberries, and goat cheese as you build the salad.
