Tropical Chicken Salad

So if you didn’t know, I am from Saskatoon, and one the awesome things about Saskatoon is they still have a Fuddruckers! So its a tradition to try and eat there when we go home for a visit. This salad is a spin on the Hawaiian Chicken Salad that they serve there. I am always excited when BBQ season rolls around so I can start making this salad again! I thought it would be a fresh and yummy salad for you to whip up. Really, you can mix up the ingredients to anything you want. Don't have almonds, fine, use walnuts! Get it? There are also no measurements because its a salad, you can’t go wrong!

Tropical Chicken Salad:

Romaine lettuce, washed and roughly chopped

Grilled Chicken breasts (I usually just season with a lemon pepper spice, but I have glazed them with teriyaki sauce too which is also super yummy)

sliced cucumbers

diced tomatoes

canned, sliced mandarin oranges, drained

toasted coconut (spread coconut on a baking sheet and toast at 300 for about 5-8 minutes)

chopped nuts (in this salad I used raw almonds as that is what I had on hand, but I have used walnuts and cashews in the past)

shredded marble cheese

Put all the ingredients into a large bowl, drizzle with poppyseed dressing (there is a photo of my favourite below), toss and enjoy with some garlic toast or bread of any kind. Because as we have established, bread is just good.

I can usually find this dressing at Safeway (in Canada) in the US I was able to find it at Walmart for a third of the price I might add. When I went on my girls trip back in August I bought 3 bottles! Hahahaha!
