- cooked chicken breasts, diced
- apples, cored and diced
- dried cranberries
- pine nuts
- tzatziki *
- baby spinach leaves
- extra virgin olive oil
- balsamic vinegar
- apple butter **
- mandarin orange segments
Notes on the Ingredients:
* One day I will figure out my own tzatziki recipe. Until then, the thickest, garlickiest tzatziki I have found is Skotidakis Tzatziki.
** Commercially prepared apple butters are often flavoured with spices such as cinnamon - which are fine for this recipe - but please choose an unsweetened variety. Apples are sweet enough on their own!
Directions:
Mix oil, vinegar & apple butter together.
Toss spinach leaves with vinaigrette.
Mix chicken, apples, cranberries & pine nuts with tzatziki.
Line serving plates with spinach.
Heap chicken salad on top of spinach.
Garnish with mandarin orange segments.
This chicken salad also works well as a spread for sandwiches.
