Citrus Salad

I just ordered my favorite salad for lunch (Claim Jumpers Citrus Salad) so i figured I would share my copy cat version of it. Not exactly the same, but kinda close...


5 oz romaine-iceberg lettuce mix
2 oz Citrus Dressing
(I prefer to buy this from claim jumper. They sell it if you ask! But newmans own light lime vinaigrette is a good substitute)
1 1/2 oz Mandarin orange sections
1 1/2 oz pecans
1 1/2 Granny Smith Apples, cut 1/4-inch dice
3/4 oz golden raisins
1/2 avocado cut 1/4-inch dice
3/4 oz dried cranberries
1/2 oz blue cheese crumbled
3 chicken breast tenderloins

Cut the chicken into slices & brown in a skillet; reduce to low and cook until the juices run completely clear. Toss all ingredients together in a big bowl. I like to chill everything but the chicken, for the contrast in flavors.
