  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 head iceberg lettuce, cored, cut into 6 wedges
  • 2 packages (6 oz each) refrigerated cooked chicken breast strips

  • 3/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 3/4 cup glazed walnuts (from 3.5-oz bag)

    In 10-inch nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium-high heat until crisp; drain on paper towels. Crumble bacon; set aside.

    Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix mayonnaise, yogurt, vinegar and blue cheese.

    On each of 6 serving plates, place 1 lettuce wedge. Arrange chicken, apple, onion and walnuts around each wedge. Drizzle with blue cheese dressing; sprinkle with bacon.

  • Glazed nuts can be found in the crouton or baking aisle of your supermarket. The sweetness adds a nice dimension to the flavors in this recipe, but you can also substitute regular walnuts or even pecans, if desired.
  • You’ll find your favorite flavors here from the classic wedge salad, dressed up a bit with crisp apples, sweet walnuts and the addition of chicken to make it main-dish worthy.
