Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups cooked diced chicken
1 crisp apple
1 firm but ripe pear
lemon juice
1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
2 tablespoons chopped chives or 2 tablespoons parsley
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 tablespoon poppy seed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Core and dice the apple and pear. Sprinkle the fruit with 1 or 2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice to keep it from discoloring. In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, apple, pear, grapes and chives.
  • To make the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients.
  • Just before serving, add all of the dressing to the chicken salad and toss well to combine. Adjust seasonings, adding additional salt if necessary. Top with the toasted pecans.
