Crunchy chicken pairs wonderfully with crisp and sweet apple in this hearty salad that's a meal in itself.

I love this recipe. I took Sarah Carrey's suggestion and added a small amount of fresh tarragon to the dressing and it made it pop. Tonight I'm trying the salad alone, using dried cherries instead of cranberries with fuji apples and adding feta. I know it will be great. This is going on the menu for lunch with the girls.

I haven't yet made it but a little gorgonzola or feta cheese would add some zip!

This was a very easy, quick dinner salad. We loved all the components, but we found the dressing was lacking in flavor--just trying to figure out what to add to give it a little zip. We will definitely make this again.
