Apple Pecan Chicken SaladLast week I shared with you one of my favorite salads I get at a Provo, Utah restaurant I visit on my frequent trips there to see my kids.  I fixed it for dinner several times in the last few weeks.  The last time I served it my daughter, Tessa, who is home for a little bit this summer informed me that although she liked the Tri Tip Steak Salad her favorite Cubby’s salad was this apple pecan chicken salad.

So of course I had to oblige and fix her favorite salad   – Apple Pecan Chicken Salad. Like the Tri Tip Steak Salad this salad is a great combination of flavors, textures and colors! Gotta love a pretty salad.

CUbby's Apple Pecan Chicken Salad

This salad uses a combo of apples, grapes, cheddar cheese, sugared pecans, chicken and a mustard vinaigrette.  I put it all over a nice bed of spring greens and some spinach.

I grilled some chicken specifically for the salad.  I just let the chicken sit it some olive oil, salt and lemon juice for an hour or so and then grilled it but it would perfectly with any leftover chicken you might have!

    Looks great. I love a salad with a homemade vinaigrette dressing and sugared pecans are pretty good, too! 😉

    I love re-creating foods from restaurants! This looks so delicious!

    I love the cheddar cheese… I usually see this type of salad with crumbled blue cheese but cheddar looks like such a nice change!

    I can’t wait to try this!

      The cheddar is a nice change and I’m not a big blue cheese fan either.

    Pinning this to try! I love the idea of a mustard vinaigrette over this. There is a chain restaurant in the South called O’Charley’s that has a fried chicken salad I used to order as a teen with a honey mustard dressing. Probably about 1200 calories! This sounds like the healthier, grown up (but still tasty) version of that. Thanks!
