Apple & Chicken Salad with Honey Poppyseed Dressing

Summer fruit and leftover chicken plus a quick and easy dressing make an amazing main course salad for summer. I’m totally in love with this Apple & Chicken Salad with Honey Poppyseed Dressing.

Apple & Chicken Salad with Honey Poppyseed Dressing

I avoid turning on my oven in the summertime here in Phoenix…just last week it was 116F. {I know…that’s crazy hot, right?!?!?!}   Having the oven on for even just a few minutes can heat the house up, so we do a lot of grilling and salad. Lots and lots of salads. Plus, when it’s 116F+ outside, the last you want to do is eat a big heavy meal.

Usually, my salads aren’t super fancy and use up leftovers from the days before and that’s what happened with this salad. Leftover rotisserie chicken from our grill, almonds, fresh Jazz apples (thanks to Jazz apples for the box of beautiful fruit), and a dairy free honey poppyseed dressing that I quickly threw together. It’s creamy, sweet, and goes perfectly with the chicken and apples.

That’s why we’ve teamed up to come up with a bunch of delicious summer recipes featuring New Zealand pears and apples. Today, we’re focusing on recipes using Jazz Apples. Check them all out below.

    This salad looks like the fabulous way to enjoy a meal on a HOT Summer day. I may not like the cold of MN but that level of hotness sure leaves a lot to be desired too!
