California Pizza Kitchen Waldorf Salad Copycat
"My absolute favorite salad at any restaurant. Unlike a typical Waldorf in that they serve it with Dijon Balsamic Vinaigrette rather than a creamy dressing. So easy to throw together, too - grill the chicken a day before or even while putting together the salad ingredients! Makes 2 dinner-sized salads - adjust the amounts accordingly if you prefer less greens. The dressing recipe makes more like 8 servings as I like to keep extra on hand. I hope you enjoy it!..."
INGREDIENTS
•
2 grilled chicken breasts, chilled (may use pre-packaged, pre-sliced if in time crunch, although home-grilled is always best)
•
6 cups mixed baby greens
•
1/2 cup red seedless grapes, halved
•
1 granny smith apple, chopped in bite-sized pieces
•
1/2 cup celery, diced (I omit this due to personal preference)
•
1/2 cup candied walnuts (don't skip, the best part!)
•
crumbled gorgonzola
•
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
•
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
•
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
•
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
1 cup olive oil (I tend to decrease the oil and it's still tasty)
