I am not a mayonnaise fan so my dressings usually consist of thick yogurt and a nut or seed butter such as tahini, almond, or cashew. If you used peanut butter you could add peanuts instead of walnuts.

CRANBERRY CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
In place of the mayo & yogurt, I use avocado! 😄
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Thank you❤
2 teaspoons honey
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
If you look at the ingredients in store bought mayo, you will see if is made from bad oils and bioengineered ingredients. Please tell your viewers to make their own mayo. It’s simple and far superior to store bought.
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups cooked chicken breast (340 grams or 12 ounces), chopped or shredded
It was delicious!
1/3 cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped
1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
Happy mothers day
1/3 cup diced red onion
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts (optional, for extra crunch)
Hi Dani, can this recipe be substituted with another nut. Walnuts are toxic to some people. Perhaps pecan?
lettuce leaves for serving
Mix yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl.
Thank you for your approach on Food iam understanding how to make but it's understandable!
Combine chicken, cranberries, celery, red onion, and chopped walnuts in a separate large bowl.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently toss to completely coat the chicken and other ingredients in the dressing. Adjust seasonings, serve, and enjoy.
Mandarin oranges also are great😊
NOTES
Any leftover salad can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Please stir it before serving it again.
I use yogurt and miracle whip😊

I am a vegetarian, and used seitan instead of chicken. It was really good!

You could have just shown one blender section then explained the rest, it was too long and boring
@marciasuminski8455How much is in a serving? It shows 256 cals but I’m not sure how much that is. I’m logging cals for weight loss. I use grams usually for my scale. Thank you!😊
