I need to share this: Cosmic Crisp apples do not oxidize, e.g., they don’t turn brown once cut- so they are IDEAL for tossing into salads and for packing into lunches. I just made a similar salad for my book club last week with them. Highly recommend!!

The only complaint I have is that I doubled the recipe and my family ate so much of it that I don’t have enough for lunch tomorrow!

Do you have a video of how to break apart/shred a whole rotisserie chicken? I want to tap into it as a shortcut but I recently started eating chicken after being a vegetarian for my whole life and I am intimidated. If you don’t have one maybe would you consider making one for an Instagram post? There must be others like me out there 🥲

This salad was so so so good! I did the rotisserie chicken version but subbed based on what I had at home: pear instead of apple, pistachios instead of almonds, Manchego instead of cheddar. Best salad I’ve eaten in a long time! Thanks, Caro!

I ate this all week and I was so sad to not eat it for dinner today after all the heaviness at lunch!

Made this for some friends on election night and they loved it! Omitted the chicken since we were potlucking and left out the squash (because I’m lazy) and it was perfect! I used raw almonds chopped up since I didn’t want it to be too salty. Thanks!

First meal I cooked in our new house! 10/10 ⭐️

We’ve been living off of takeout & fast food through the past few days of moving chaos and NEEDED something crisp & fresh. Thank You!!!

A stunner of a salad, I made the delicate version using rotisserie chicken and added homemade cheese frico crisps. Divine!

I wanted frico in this but I was dipping into "I feel like cooking" territory with that add. Love this!!!!

My 9 year old declared this the “best thing he had ever tasted, even better than pizza” 😳

Made this for a girls' brunch and literally everyone exclaimed "this salad is AMAZING!" Doubled the recipe and was the perfect amount for six adults as a side dish.

This salad is so good! My five year old ate salad mixed together for the first time with this and my husband who doesn’t like veggies, ate two bowls 😊
