Apple Pecan Salad


Submitted by laurenz32

Makes 8 servings

This is so good. Mixtures of tastes are really great. I mix everything together except the lettuce then add the mixture to the lettuce right before eating it. I also add some rasperry vinegarette (spray bottle from Wishbone) dressing. This is really best if you let it set for a while...you know, tastes better tomorrow. Make it vegetarian by leaving out the chicken. This is loaded with healthy omega-3's from the avocado and the pecans, the good fats.

Ingredients
8 ounces avocado, chopped
8 ounces celery, chopped
5 large fuji apples, chopped
5 scallions, chopped
3 ounces pecans, chopped
14 ounces canned chicken
2 large tomatoes, chopped
2 cucumbers, chopped
20 cups lettuce
1 ounce lemon juice
1 ounce lime juice
Directions
  1. Chop first 8 ingredients and mix together in a bowl

  2. Add lemon and/or lime juice (I squeeze the juice in mainly to prevent browning)

  3. Place mixture on top of greens.

  4. Spray or top with dressing of your choice, preferably light and fruity.
