Panera Fuji Apple Chicken Salad

By srumbel

I love this main course salad at Panera. My skinny version has so many of the same ingredients as their salad but I’ve used a few skinny substitutes. It’s lower in fat and calories with fat-free feta cheese instead of Gorgonzola and being tossed in a store-bought reduced-fat dressing. In addition to the apple chips, I added fresh chopped apple. Each main course salad has 299 calories, 8 grams of fat and 5 Weight Watchers SmartPoints. It comes together very quickly and taste amazing!
