ASPARAGUS, APPLE AND CHICKEN SALAD

CHUNKY APPLE AND ALMOND CHICKEN SALAD
I like this chicken salad because it is chunky, crunchy, and light. While I prefer to leave the skin on the apple for color and nutrition, you could remove it.

- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken salad is best when the chicken is cooked through but still tender and juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Chop the chicken and apples into small pieces. This will make it easier to eat and mix the salad.
- Use a variety of ingredients in your salad. In addition to chicken and apples, you can add other ingredients such as celery, grapes, walnuts, or dried cranberries. Just be sure to choose ingredients that you think will complement the chicken and apples.
- Dress the salad to taste. You can use a simple vinaigrette dressing or a more flavorful dressing made with mayonnaise, mustard, and honey. Just be sure to add enough dressing to moisten the salad without making it soggy.
