RECIPE: Spring Citrus Salad with Spicy Pecans

Spring is here in Wisconsin! The chilly days are giving way to blooming flowers and fresh spring salad greens. Longer days make a cool, crisp, citrusy salad a perfect dinner. To add wonderful crunch and quality protein, we added Fortune Favors The Spicy pecans and baked chicken breast to this simple yet delicious salad, adapted from Recipes | ILovePecans. This recipe is gluten-free and keto-friendly, and vegan if you skip the chicken!
