I probably should have layered the ingredients across the lettuce, Cobb Salad-style...\nAgain, I'm on the lookout lately for vegetarian meals or at least dishes that can easily be adapted to be meat-free.  When I saw <a href=\"http:\/\/www.seriouseats.com\/recipes\/2009\/10\/grilled-apple-and-chicken-salad-with-cider-maple-vinaigrette-recipe.html\">this salad<\/a> on Serious Eats, it looked like something that everyone in my family would eat, with a few minor adaptations.<br \/>\nFirst off, Vegetarian Girl left the chicken off her salad, of course, but I figured that with the cheese and the nuts, she would still be getting plenty of protein.<br \/>\nSecondly, I used toasted pecans instead of the almonds, because we like them better and it&#8217;s what I had in the house.<br \/>\nThirdly, I omitted the raisins, because most of my family believes, like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/writers\/writer.asp?cid=968055\">Lilly<\/a>, that raisins taste like dirt.<br \/>\nThis salad was QUITE yummy.  It never would have occurred to me to grill apples, but they were tasty and we all liked them.  I know that safflower oil might be difficult for some people to find, but it&#8217;s worth the effort, because it is MUCH lighter than other oils and keeps the dressing from being too greasy on the delicate ingredients.<\/p>\n<form mt:asset-id=\"380\" class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"IMG_7821.JPG\" src=\"http:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/IMG_7821.JPG\" width=\"212\" height=\"320\" class=\"mt-image-none\" style=\"\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-559","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-salad"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=559"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=559"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=559"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.feedyourkids.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
