Cranberry-Walnut Chicken Salad

This was a little plain the first day, but it was absolutely perfect the second day! I guess it just needed some time to reach its full flavor. Deb's suggestions for doing this salad with Thanksgiving leftovers sounds intriguing...

I have made this chicken salad many times, changing the nuts to pecans, and adding raisins instead of cranberries or maybe dried bluberries or strawberries if I can find them. I like it on a grren salad. Its never boring

Fantastic chicken salad. I prepared this using chicken thighs that had been grilled, and using home-made vegannaise flavored with smoked paprika. The salad could use more cranberries, and well toasted walnuts elevates this recipe tremendously.

This recipe also could be varied in so many ways - I can imagine it with cucumber, or red bell pepper, and in a sandwich with thick slices of tomato. We will revisit this recipe!
