Beet and Apple Chicken Salad

I love using my garden beets in salads, and this recipe is only a few ingredients but definitely not lacking in flavor! Grilled chicken, crisp sweet apples, and earthy beets are tossed with salad greens with a light vinaigrette to add a subtle punch of flavor while keeping it light and fresh. 

INGREDIENTS

• 4 ounces chicken breast, grilled and diced
• 3 cups spring salad mix
• 1 apple, diced
• 1/2 cooked diced beets
• 2 Tablespoons sliced roasted almonds (optional)
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 Tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce or Brag liquid aminos 
• 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard

Instructions

1. To make dressing, combine last 4 ingredients together with a fork or whisk in a small bowl, set aside. 
2. Place salad greens in a bowl. Top with apple, beets, chicken, and sliced roasted almonds if using. Toss gently. 
3. Drizzle with vinaigrette and serve immediately.
