Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Heat oven to 400º. Spread pecan on a baking sheet. Roast for 4 minutes, until they are golden brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle 1 1/2 tsp. sweetener over them.

  2. Slice grilled chicken on the bias and set aside. 

  3. Build salad between two bowls by adding lettuce, apple chips, sliced chicken, sweetened pecans, sliced red onion, and gorgonzola. 

  4. In a mini food processor, add all ingredients for vinaigrette: apple, olive oil, 2 tbsp. sweetener, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, onion power, and salt. Blend on high until fully combined. Add 2 tablespoons water and blend again.  Adjust seasonings according to preference. 

  5. Serve vinaigrette alongside salad and enjoy immediately!
