Instructions

  1. Toss lettuce, apples, bacon, pecans, and chicken in a large bowl.
  2. Whisk dressing ingredients together and pour over salad. Toss to combine. Enjoy!

Notes

  • To make ahead: Store the main salad ingredients separately and toss them just before eating.  After chopping the apples, add a splash of lemon juice to them to keep them from browning.
  • If you have washed your lettuce you can place a paper towel at the bottom of the bag or bowl to help absorb the extra moisture in the salad. This will help your lettuce stay more fresh.
