California Pizza Kitchen Waldorf Salad Copycat - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 grilled chicken breasts, chilled (may use pre-packaged, pre-sliced if in time crunch, although home-grilled is always best)
6 cups mixed baby greens
1/2 cup red seedless grapes, halved
1 granny smith apple, chopped in bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup celery, diced (I omit this due to personal preference)
1/2 cup candied walnuts (don't skip, the best part!)
crumbled gorgonzola
For the dressing
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup olive oil (I tend to decrease the oil and it's still tasty)

Preparation

For dressing:.
Whisk together all ingredients well.
Chill until serving.
Store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, shake or whisk prior to serving. (It may store longer than this, but it never stays around long enough without being eaten for me to know!).
For the salad:.
Toss field greens, fruits and celery, if included, in desired amount of dressing.
Place evenly divided portions on two large, chilled plates.
Top with sliced, chilled chicken breast, candied walnuts, and Gorgonzola.
Voila! Enjoy!
