June's Take on Wendy's Apple Pecan Chicken Salad image

A friend introduced me to the Chicken Apple Pecan Salad served at Wendy's Restaurant Chain. I loved it and decided to try to duplicate it at home. This is what I came up with. I think its delicious and comes very close to the Wendy's version, but at a much lower price!

JUNE SALAD



June Salad image

This is inspired by the local Farmer's Market. Thank you for providing us with the freshest, earliest produce to push the lingering remnants of winter out of our heads. All the baby 'greens' were the same price, so I mixed them up: beet greens, arugula, mache, romaine, frisee, and mixed. And the strawberries....the SMELL of them made us weak in the knees. To do this elegant starter salad justice, PLEASE use the freshest produce! Developed for Craze-E 6/09. 'Start with salad at a dinner party.'
