A refreshing and healthy chicken salad with a zesty twist, perfect for a light lunch or dinner.
In a mixing bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, honey, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk until the dressing is well blended.
Use a small whisk or fork to ensure the dressing emulsifies properly.
Dice the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
Ensure the chicken is fully cooked and cooled before dicing for easier handling.
Chop the celery into small slices and dice the apple into cubes.
Keep the apple pieces small and uniform for better texture in the salad.
In a large bowl, combine the chicken, celery, apple, and lettuce. Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss gently to coat.
Toss the salad gently to avoid bruising the lettuce.
Serve the salad immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour to let the flavors meld.
Chilling the salad enhances the flavor as the ingredients absorb the dressing.
