Harvest Chicken Salad with Raspberry Balsamic Dressing

Today, I’m excited to share one of my very favorite salads~ Harvest Chicken Salad with Raspberry Balsamic Dressing with y’all.

I promise you this dressing is to-die-for… SO Ah-mazing!

This salad is just wonderful.  Oh and if you take off the chicken it’s the perfect side salad to take along to all your holiday gatherings too.  Or it’d be a great way to use up some leftover Turkey from you’re Holiday Feasting!
