Layered Chicken, Apple, and Blue Cheese Salad
3 cups shredded chicken
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 cup celery, thinly sliced
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 apple (I like Granny Smith or Gala), thinly sliced and tossed in lemon juice
1/2 cup blue cheese (gorgonzola works nicely as well)
*Greens mix of your choice
Dressing of your choice.
Layer the salad beginning with the greens. You can choose how you layer the ingredients but I suggest keeping the tomatoes and cheese towards the top so they don't get crushed or soggy.
I've made this for salad luncheons many times. I prepare it the night before and cover it with wrap. It stores very nicely and is always a hit.
* I've been purchasing the cellophane boxes of greens at BJ's. They offer a few different greens selections and all stay nice and fresh the entire week. It's a great value for your money.
This salad went very nicely with crusty bread and a slightly chilled glass of Coppola Chardonnay.
Enjoy!

Yummy! All of my favorites Jo. :)
Jo, I truly enjoy every visit to your blog. It's so beautiful. And those dishes!!! They always look so fantastic.
YUM this looks great!! I love the layered effect, and even better it can be done ahead of time. I've decided to pop for the camera; you'll see why when you see my photos in the current post. You have so inspired me, Jo!! But now I need some advice on lenses....
Oh my gosh --- these salad's just keep getting better! You are an inspiration to what I should be serving for dinner!!!
Your photography is stunning! ...and the salad looks pretty darn good too. Love the monogrammed vino glasses as well.
I would love to know where you went in Paso Robles. :)
This layered salad is so beautiful and it looks delicious! I must try something like this, the addition of apples is very nice.
Wow... that looks delicious and great presentation!!

Yumm! I love how Ina Garten makes her dressing and lets it sit at the bottom of the salad ahead of time. She just tosses it at the last minute--gorgeous salad!
