Holy yum! This salad tastes like fall. You could change up this salad a million different ways and it would still be delicious. Don’t have apples? Use pears. Don’t have pecans? Use walnuts.
This dinner salad was my favorite meal of the week. I love using Tyson Grilled and Ready chicken strips when I don’t feel like spending a ton of time in the kitchen and they worked out perfectly as the protein for this salad.
