Apples and Cheddar Chicken Salad Recipe

I'm catching up on making sure recipes I've tried are also on the blog. I'm paranoid of losing recipes and so have a couple of "backup" options and this blog is on of them.

As I recall, this recipe was decent. It's a big high in carbs at 22g for me. I may make it again, but really with salads I find I won't make one that has "common" ingredients. I mean, let's face it, this is just a cobb salad in disguise.
