Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup poppy seed salad dressing, divided

- 1 large pear, peeled and slivered
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Whisk 1/4 cup poppy seed dressing, 2 tablespoons wasabi peas, and 1 teaspoon sesame seeds in a large glass or ceramic bowl; add chicken and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator, about 1 hour.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Place lettuce in a salad bowl; add pear, cranberries, remaining 2 tablespoons wasabi peas, and remaining 1 teaspoon sesame seeds.

- Pour remaining 1/4 cup poppy seed dressing over lettuce mixture; toss to coat. Top salad with sliced chicken.
