Blue Cheese Chicken Potato and Apple Salad

Who here is guilty of ignoring salads as the weather gets cooler?

(raises hand high)

It’s true though, right? Fall’s cooler temps come along and your body instantly craves comfort food.

That’s exactly what I thought of when making this salad. It’s September. To me, September comfort equals apples and potatoes. I’m not really ready for squash yet (you pumpkin, butternut, acorn, kabocha freaks need to chill until next month) but crispy red potatoes sound perfect right about now.

The raisins, pepitas and rotisserie chicken bring a deliciously sweet, crunchy and salty profile to each bite. Then there’s the dressing… the Kraft blue cheese dressing just makes this salad. It’s creamy and the perfect tangy addition to balance out all the other flavors.

Dear salads, I promise not to ignore you for the next six months.
