Spinach Salad with Apples and Candied Pecans



Dairy Free Fish Free Soy Free Gluten Free 

Tart, sweet, and crunchy… a great salad idea! Omit the Candied Pecans for a nut free version.

For the Dressing:

¾ cup of olive oil
¼ cup of apple juice
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon poppy seed


For the Salad:

2 green apples, cored and chopped
2 teaspoons lemon juice
One 12-ounce bag of baby spinach
2 cup of cooked chicken, cubed
¾ cup of Candied Pecans (omit for nut free)



Make the dressing by whisking together all of the dressing ingredients. Cover and refrigerate.

Place the chopped apples and the lemon juice in a bowl and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate.

In a large bowl, toss together the apples, spinach and cooked chicken. When ready to serve toss with the dressing until the spinach is coated. Top with a sprinkle of the Candied Pecans. Serve immediately.

Serves 4.
