This type of salad goes by so many names, or salads with this name can imply so many things however you want to look at it... tonight we're going with a salad similar to one we've had before, but with apples in it. It's the kind of salad that you find in many restaurants from Panera to the fanciest of eateries.
1 package field greens or salad mix
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 large apple, sliced
1/2 cup bleu cheese
1/4 cups chopped pecans or walnuts
1/2 lb chicken, cooked, cut into strips (precooked would work nicely)
2 Tbsp Raspberry Jam
1 Tbsp Raspberry Balsamic Vinegar
1 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
1 1/2 Tbsp Sunflower oil (substitute with all canola oil if this is not in your pantry already)
1 1/2 Tbsp Canola oil
Stir together, pepper and/or salt to taste
Divide lettuce equally into four salad plates. place strips of chicken intersperced with strips of apple in a circular pattern around the edges of the plate. top with cheese, cranberries and nuts.
Drizzle dressing on top of salad and serve with crusty bread if desired.
