Apple Pecan Salad

Hear ye, hear ye, this is my new favorite salad, Apple Pecan Salad with Bacon.

Apples + Bacon + Pecans + leftover BBQ chicken + Garlicky Balsamic goodness = one heck of a party in your mouth.

I happened to have some leftover bacon I had precooked in my fridge along with some grilled chicken from a few days ago. That really made this salad come together in a cinch!  If you don’t have chicken readily available, it’s really no big deal to just omit. Just make sure you don’t forget the bacon. That is important.

    I have had a very similar salad with a PEANUT SATAY SAUCE : It was awesome … WE also love Balsamic Dressings, so I will try this ~~~ Thank you …

    I’m visiting a friend next month, and I’m always saving salad recipes, to make for our lunch. No need to keep looking – this is perfect, and will surely become a favorite! Thank you!

    Am going to make this with my bbq tonight (without the chicken added, though) – looks so amazing, and who doesn’t love a good balsamic dressing! : )
