This cranberry chicken salad is a great sandwich filling that they make at the diner in the hospital where I work, but I fancied it up a bit with some green onions and pecans. A great way to use up leftover chicken. Delicious!
Ingredients
- 2 cooked chicken breast halves, chopped
- ½ cup mayonnaise, or to taste
- 2 green onions, chopped
- ½ cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Ocean Spray® Craisins®)
- ¼ green apple, shredded
- ¼ cup chopped pecans
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ¼ teaspoon dried dill weed
- 1 pinch salt and black pepper, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Mix together chicken and mayonnaise in a bowl, stir to coat well. Stir in green onions, dried cranberries, apple, pecans, lime juice, dill weed, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
Serve immediately or refrigerate for several hours or overnight (the flavor just gets better).
Tips
For a fresher flavor, use 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped dill instead of dried dill.
