California Pizza Kitchen Waldorf Salad Copycat


My absolute favorite salad at any restaurant. unlike a typical waldorf in that they serve it with dijon balsamic vinaigrette rather than a creamy dressing. so easy to throw together, too - grill the chicken a day before or even while putting together the salad ingredients! makes 2 dinner-sized salads - adjust the amounts accordingly if you prefer less greens. the dressing recipe makes more like 8 servings as i like to keep extra on hand. I hope you enjoy it!!

Steps


For dressing:.
Whisk together all ingredients well.
Chill until serving.
Store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks , shake or whisk prior to serving.
For the salad:.
Toss field greens , fruits and celery , if included , in desired amount of dressing.
Place evenly divided portions on two large , chilled plates.
Top with sliced , chilled chicken breast , candied walnuts , and gorgonzola.
Voila ! enjoy !.
