Does anyone else find it difficult at times to cook for two? I hesitate to make recipes that serve 6-8, because that means we'll be having leftovers 3 and 4 times over. It's nice to have go-to recipes that are easy to throw together for just two people, like chili, pasta dishes, etc. I made this salad the other week, and it has now been added to my list of easy for 2 dinners :) The quantities below serve two, but you can easily customize it to serve however many you need, or switch any of the toppings for those of your choosing. I hope you have a great start to your week!
Apple-Feta Salad with Chicken, Bacon & Pecans
salad greens (I used baby spinach + romaine)
2 chicken breasts, grilled and sliced
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 apple, chopped
1/4 cup craisins
2 oz crumbled feta
1/4 cup spiced nuts (recipe here)
Layer all salad ingredients on two plates. Serve with vinaigrette (I used raspberry, but you could also use balsamic or another of your favorites).

ooooo yummy yummy! This looks great! Since you're cooking for 2 can I just stop by and you can add one more place setting at the table for me? :-)
ReplyDeleteThis salad is right up my alley! I love apples and feta in salad.
ReplyDeletewow - reading the title made me hungry! brian and i make a salad during the week with a poached egg - agreed, salads are easy to make and customize for two - but this looks like a step up and so delicious. i'm going to have to try it soon, thanks for the idea sherri!
ReplyDeleteMy husband is finally on board with eating salads as a meal. He would love this! I am all in with salads with bacon.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good! I need some new salad recipes to add to the rotation.
