\"Homemade<\/p>\n

Consider this a homemade version of the Panera Fuji Apple Salad with Chicken, one of my favorite salads<\/a>. It’s delicious, it’s healthy, and it’s pretty enough for entertaining. Aside from making my own apple vinaigrette and using fresh apples instead of dried apple chips, the ingredients are identical: a mix of lettuces (romaine, arugula, and radicchio), red onion, crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, roasted chicken breast, and pecans.<\/p>\n

For the chicken, I picked up a rotisserie chicken at the market and chopped up the breast meat, because when you have a 4-month-old baby, you take the easy route when you can. (That reminds me: how long do you think I can go on using the excuse that I have an infant? I was thinking of something like another 2 to 18 years but let me know.) You could always roast your own chicken at home!<\/p>\n

And if you’ve never made your own vinaigrette before, this recipe would be a great starter. The base is a classic vinaigrette (vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, shallot, salt, and pepper), with apple jelly added for a touch of sweetness and a subtle hint of apple. Don\u2019t have apple jelly? Don\u2019t worry\u2014honey would make a fine substitute. The vinaigrette will keep for three days if you cover it and store it in the refrigerator, (just whisk it well before using or put it in a mason jar and give it a good shake). It also happens to get better the longer it sits.<\/p>\n
