Chicken Apple Salad with Candied Walnuts

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Servings: 6 -8 servings
Author: Barbara Schieving

Ingredients 

  • ½ c. chopped walnuts
  • ¼ c. sugar
  • 2 chicken breasts grilled and diced
  • 4 slices of pre-cooked bacon chopped
  • 2 cups mixed greens
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • ½ cup chopped celery
  • ½ cup dried cranberries Craisins
  • ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 3 oz. package apple chips

Instructions

  • Combine the walnuts and sugar in a medium skillet. Cook over medium heat stirring constantly until the sugar starts to liquefy.  Continue stirring constantly until the liquid reaches a golden color and coats the nuts.
  • Remove from heat and spread candied nuts onto a greased cookie sheet or plate and allow to cool completely. Stir occasionally as it cools to break up large pieces.
  • Toss remaining ingredients in a bowl and serve with your favorite dressing. I used the Girard's Apple Poppy Seed dressing.
