Ingredients

4 servings

1 - 6 ounce greens ({I like spinach kale or arugula})
4 ounce blue cheese (crumbled)
1 pound Chicken breasts (cooked, cooled and diced)
1/2 cup pomegranate arils
2 pears (cored and diced)
2 apples (cored and diced {I like to use one red and one green})
1 cup red grapes (halved)
1 cup green grapes (halved)
3 celery stalks (diced)
2 Tablespoons chives (chopped)
1/4 cup parsley (chopped)
1/4 cup walnuts
1/4 cup pine nuts ({optional})
3/4 cup mayonnaise (or plain or Greek yogurt)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Method

1
On a large platter arrange your ingredients starting with chicken, then the blue cheese, greens, apples, pears, grapes, celery, pomegranate seeds, walnuts and the parsley and chives on the outer edges.
2
In a large mason jar or a salad dressing container mix together the salad dressing ingredients. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste.
3
Serve the salad on the platter with individual plates so people can construct their own salad and add dressing.

Notes

Other ingredients that would be a nice addition: I like adding chickpeas or white beans to the side. You can serve this with gorgonzola, feta cheese or goat cheese. You could add other types of fruit to this salad like berries or bananas. Aside from walnuts I like to add silvered almonds or cashews sometimes.
