2 cups cooked chicken breast, sliced or cubed
4 cups mixed salad greens
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup pecans
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
Poppy Seed Dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, honey, apple cider vinegar, poppy seeds, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Toast the pecans in a dry pan for 2–3 minutes before adding—they’ll become extra fragrant and elevate the whole salad!
