RECIPE: Spring Citrus Salad with Spicy Pecans

green salad with oranges and pecans on plate with fork

Spring is here in Wisconsin! The chilly days are giving way to blooming flowers and fresh spring salad greens. Longer days make a cool, crisp, citrusy salad a perfect dinner. To add wonderful crunch and quality protein, we added Fortune Favors The Spicy pecans and baked chicken breast to this simple yet delicious salad, adapted from Recipes | ILovePecans. This recipe is gluten-free and keto-friendly, and vegan if you skip the chicken!

6 cups greens
1-1/2 cups sliced and peeled oranges
1-1/2 cups The Spicy pecans, chopped
¼ cup of purple onions, chopped
2 cooked chicken breasts, cubed
8 Tbsp. vinaigrette dressing (can include flavors similar to raspberry)

    1. Mix together all ingredients
    2. Add dressing just before serving
