With fall officially in full swing, I know everyone is all “ZOMG pumpkin spice everything!” Usually I’m there along with you, but this year I’ve only made one pumpkin thing thus far. Instead I’m aaalll about apples. Last week we made fab muffins with them, this week it’s this salad, and my favorite baked oatmeal is on the books for this weekend, along with about 20 other ideas I’m mulling over in my mind. I first made a version of this salad a few years ago and we make it often, but over time it has morphed bit by bit, as favorite recipes sometimes do. I thought I would share this updated version because we love it so much.
We love grilled chicken on salads, and a touch of herbes de provence goes perfectly with the other flavors in this meal. I usually make an extra piece of chicken so I can make another salad as a lunch later in the week, and it’s a lunch hour I definitely look forward to. I’m sure we’ll be enjoying this salad all through the rest of apple season, all while I’m plotting my next apple dessert…
