"Apples on Top" Chicken Salad!

Last weekend was the baby shower for my soon-to-be grand baby. Yes, you read that right, I'm going to be a grandma!! And yes, I'm definitely too young to be! ;) At any rate, I'm SOOO excited to meet her within the next few weeks!! :)

The theme of the shower was children's story books. All of the hosts were to make a dish and a display that accompanied a children's book that involved FOOD. So fun!! My daughter and I chose Ten Apples on Top and of course a healthy recipe to go along... 

How cute was our display?! :)


Apples On Top Chicken Salad~

6-7 cored and chopped apples
1 pound cooked and chopped boneless, skinless chicken
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup unsweetened & unsulfured dried cranberries
2 large diced celery sticks
1/4 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
1-2 cups arugula
1/2 bottle of Trader Joe's cranberry walnut gorgonzola dressing

*please note that all of these measurements are guestimates and can be adjusted according to your preferences. You can also choose to take it a step healthier and make your own dressing.

ENJOY!!!
