Ingredients

For the Dressing

1/3 cup mayonnaise
¼ cup honey
1 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp unseasoned rice vinegar
½ tsp sesame oil

For the Salad

4 cups chopped grilled chicken I love the flavors that grilled chicken lends to this salad, but you can definitely use rotisserie chicken or leftover baked chicken breast
1 large apple thinly sliced
1 large peach thinly sliced, just ripe, or use pineapple
1 cup fresh blackberries strawberries also work
½ cup roasted chopped pecans or your favorite nut

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk all the dressing ingredients together until combined and smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
In a large bowl, gently combine chicken and fruit.
Evenly distribute the chicken and fruit onto plates. Sprinkle with the pecans and and drizzle with dressing.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

The amount of dressing is about 3 tablespoons per salad. If you like more than that, consider doubling the dressing ingredients.
I love Honeycrisp or Pink Lady apples, but just use your favorite.
