Apple Chicken Salad Recipe

This simple but tasty salad combines cooked chicken breast, apples, celery, carrots, and sweet onion with ranch dressing. The apples give a sweet crunch and a perfect offset to the tanginess of the ranch dressing. Use as a topper for lettuce greens or as a sandwich filler. Kids love this salad.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
  • 1/4 cup finely-diced Red Delicious apple
  • 1/4 cup finely-diced celery
  • 1/4 cup finely-diced sweet onions
  • 1 Tbsp grated carrot
  • 1 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
  • Salt and freshly-ground pepper to taste
  • Lettuce and tomatoes

Preparation:

Gently toss chicken breast, apple, celery, sweet onions, carrot, mayonnaise, ranch dressing, salt, and pepper until well-combined.

Serve with salad greens and tomatoes or as a filler for sandwiches.

Yield: 4 servings
