Ingredients

Fresh Crisp Salad greens (whatever kind you like)
Roasted, boneless, and skinless chicken breasts, cooled and pulled into strips.
Your favorite fruit, cut into bite-sized chunks. Carol recommends cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries, pineapple, blackberries, apples, and tasty peaches.
Candied pecans & Citrus salad dressing

Methods/steps

Start by roasting (or grilling) your chicken. If you’re on a tight schedule, you can pick up pre-roasted chicken from the market. But make sure to remove any bones or skin. If you cooked your own chicken, assemble your fruit while it’s cooling.
You can mix and match the fruits that appeal to you and your family and friends. Try exotic kiwis or papayas for a tropical twist.
Make sure to rinse and dry the lettuce, preferably in a salad spinner. Pressing it gently between two moist paper towels works well too.
Assemble the lettuce and fruit on your plate.
Top with roasted chicken and toss.
Sprinkle the candied pecans liberally.
Add dressing to taste and dig in. Yum!
