I had this salad at a restaurant earlier this week and think my version is pretty darned close. You can serve it with sliced grilled chicken if you like, or leave it off. Other fruits can be substituted to suit tastes. Read more . Make up the salad dressing and the candied walnuts ahead of time and this salad goes together in a snap. Ingredients:
misc. mixed salad greens |
blueberries |
blackberries |
granny smith apples, thinly sliced |

1. All amounts to taste. Place mixed greens on plate and top with fruit, candied walnuts and grilled chicken (optional). Top with Cinnamon Dressing.
