Chicken and Wild Rice Salad: A Hearty, Savory Dinner Salad

This easy, filling salad is filled with chicken, rice, fruit, and avocado.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 3-4 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 box long grain and wild rice mix with seasoning packet (like Rice-a-Roni)
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (I used rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 apple diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 avocado flesh removed and diced
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries or cherries
  • 1/4 cup prepared poppy seed dressing
  • 12 ounces salad greens (I used a blend of baby spinach and romaine.)

Instructions

  1. Cook rice according to package directions, and allow to cool. (You could do this the day before and cool it in the refrigerator until you are ready to make your salad.)
  2. Gently toss all ingredients together and serve. Doesn’t get much easier than that!
