Chicken, Apple & Walnut Salad

PALEO/GLUTEN FREE/DAIRY FREE/WEIGHT LOSS FRIENDLY/
10 WEEK CHALLENGE APPROVED

We all know by now that salad can get pretty boring. I’m personally a creature of habit and once I find something I love, I often repeat that until I find something new to love. Then when I rediscover an old favourite, it’s a love affair all over again.

I like eating my favourite things as much as I love trying new things and when creating 28 Days of Recipes, the overwhelming request from you guys was a variety in lunch friendly meals. I know lunch can be tough which is why I have provided make in advance meals as well as quick and easy salads. Trust me – I’ve been there and know what does and doesn’t work!

This salad is fresh and crisp with a sweet hit from the apple which complements the soft chicken with mayo and the crunch of the walnuts. It’s super easy to prepare and delicious to eat.
