Subway Apple Orchard Chicken Salad
Description
The Subway Apple Orchard Chicken Salad features a balance of flavors and textures from crisp apples in two varieties, tender cooked chicken, crunchy celery, and sweet cherry-flavored dried cranberries. Mixing the ingredients with light mayonnaise coated evenly to add creaminess, while lemon juice prevents the apples from discoloring. A touch of salt and pepper rounds out the flavor. After assembling, refrigerating the salad for an hour allows the flavors to meld well and chills the salad for serving.
The salad’s texture comes from the combination of crunchy apple cubes and celery contrasted with the soft, cooked chicken chunks coated in creamy mayo. The dried cranberries contribute sweetness and chewiness. Together, the ingredients make a salad that can be served as a light main course or a side dish paired with bread or crackers for added bulk.
A practical addition, mentioned in the notes, is the option to add toasted almond slivers for extra crunch and nutty flavor.
