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.
