Apple Chip Salad
Apple Chip Salad is a delicious combination of grilled chicken, fresh greens, veggies, walnuts, with a tangy fresh salad dressing. This is a super easy salad to make for a quick summer meal that will hit the spot. You can grill the chicken yourself or purchase pre-cooked chicken breasts from your local supermarket for a super easy meal. Apple Chip Salad is complete with, with protein, veggies, and sweet crunchy apple chips, so there is not a lot of side dishes or clean up. It is a meal salad you will want to make over and over. It has it all, fresh crisp mixed greens, topped with a delicious marinated chicken, infused with chunky blue cheese blending into one flavorful salad, with the right amount of zip. Oh, the tangy salad dressing just makes this salad so tasty and goes wonderfully with the chicken and crunchy apple chips that top this salad. It makes the perfect family meal, it is always on their request list; serve it for lunch or supper. You know what I really like about this salad, I can marinate the chicken ahead of time and have it ready when I get home from work or even better I will cook it up several chicken breasts on the weekend and throw them in the freezer to have ready for a quick weeknight meal. Once you have the chicken done, the prep time is only 30 minutes, not bad for such an extraordinary salad!
