So I went to
Panera Bread the other day and enjoyed their
Fuji Apple Chicken salad. I have to say it was yummy. But after I went to the website and read the nutritional content I was less than pleased. A 500+ Calorie salad and a ton of ingredient names in the dressing I can't even pronounce. Although one that I can pronounce is Propelyn Glycol, which is found in lighter fluid. Uh, yeah... I don't think so.
So I took it upon myself to make a similar salad.
Salad Fixin's Romain Lettuce (they used mixed Spring Greens)
Red Onion
Pecans (just a few per salad)
Tomatoes
Dried Apple Chips
Gorgonzola Cheese (just enough)
Rotisserie Chicken (Breast only No Skin)
Donna's Fake Fuji Apple Dressing 3 T. Organic Apple Juice Concentrate (the frozen kind0
1 T. White Balsamic Vinegar
1 T. Apple Cider Vinegar
1 T. Garlic Powder
1 T. Onion Powder
1 tsp. Dijon Mustard
1/3 C. Olive Oil (a nice quality)
Theirs: 80 Calories 6 g. Fat
Mine: 45 Calories and 4.5 g. Fat - Plus no processed crud.
