Directions
Santa Fe Chicken Salad (Applebee’s), Do not let the list of ingredients keep you from making this salad Most of the ingredients are for the marinade and salsa which should be made the day before and refrigerated The remaining ingredients are the salad and side items It is super quick to throw together the next day and tastes awesome The tequila-lime chicken is outstanding on its own and you may want to make extra Pico de Gallo to keep in the fridge I have adapted this recipe from a former Applebee’s employee The recipe is scaled down for one serving, so adjust for more servings Cooktime is marinade time , This is easily our favourite salad! We used to eat it at Applebee’s all the time and found this copycat recipe and make it at home once a month I didn’t find it expensive like another user because I have tequila at home at all times (we have a margarita maker), so other than the chicken I think it’s a relatively cheap meal at home I leave out the vinegar and garlic powder because it tastes better without it and we buy the PC Salsa Ranch dressing to put on it instead of mixing the pico de gallo with the ranch dressing I’d rather put heaping fulls of the pico on top of the salad My husband is cooking the chicken on the BBQ right now for our salad as I type this out Looking forward to the best salad there is!, Amazing!!!!
