Apple Chicken Salad is so quick and easy to make and tastes great!
This chicken apple salad is based on a salad I have had several times at a restaurant. I loved the salad and knew I had to recreate it at home.
I came up with a simple dressing and salad that we love.
You can use any kind of cooked chicken that you have. I like to use leftover grilled chicken or leftover rotisserie chicken.
The salad I had at the restaurant used Gorgonzola cheese, so that is what I use in this. You can use a different cheese, but the Gorgonzola adds so much flavor to this that I really think it is best in this.
If you need a quick and easy lunch or dinner main dish salad this salad is a must try!
Chicken Apple Salad
- 3-4 cups cooked chicken
- 2 cups apple chips (These are the dried apple chips, not fresh apples)
- Mixed greens or lettuce
- ¼ of a red onion, thinly sliced
- Cherry tomatoes sliced in half or fresh tomatoes cut into chunks
- ½ cup Gorgonzola or other similar cheese, crumbled
- Dressing
- ¼ cup oil
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup apple juice
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 clove minced garlic
- In a jar or container combine dressing ingredients. Whisk together well.
- In a large bowl toss salad ingredients together.
- Drizzle dressing over salad and toss or serve dressing on the side. I prefer to serve the dressing on the side so each person can use the amount of dressing that they want.

Accidentally bought feta cheese, but this salad was terrific. I’d have never thought of this combination of ingredients and was a little s skeptical, but we all loved it. Nice and light for these hot hot days. Thanks!
I am so glad that you enjoyed it! Thanks for letting me know. Have a great day!
