1 1/2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (2 large)
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound thick-cut bacon
1/4 cup whole roasted salted Marcona almonds
1/4 cup whole roasted salted cashews
1/4 cup walnut halves
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons liquid honey
4 cups baby frisee, washed, spun dry, and sliced into 1 1/2-inch pieces
4 cups kale, ribs removed, washed, spun dry, stacked and thinly sliced
4 ounces baby spinach, washed and spun dry
1/2 cup golden raisins

CHICKEN WALDORF SALAD WITH FLAXSEED-OIL DRESSING



CHICKEN WALDORF SALAD WITH FLAXSEED-OIL DRESSING image

Categories     Salad     Healthy     Lettuce

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup walnuts
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons flaxseed oil
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
Coarse salt and pepper, to taste
2 Granny Smith apples (1 pound total), cored and cut into 1/4-inch wedges
1/2 cup dried cranberries
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
3 cups thickly shredded (12 ounces) skinless rotisserie chicken (from a small rotisserie chicken)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Toast the walnuts until crisp and fragrant, about 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle, chop coarsely; set aside. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, flaxseed oil, vinegar, honey, and 2 tablespoons water; season to taste with salt and pepper. 3. Add apples, dried cranberries, celery, onion, and chicken; toss to combine. Divide among 4 plates; top with walnuts.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per side.
  • Use a variety of textures: The combination of crunchy apples, creamy mayonnaise, and tender chicken makes this salad so delicious. Be sure to include a variety of textures in your salad, such as nuts, seeds, or dried fruit.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the salad.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled. If you're making it ahead of time, be sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
