Yield: 6 cups of chicken salad.
3 cups cooked chicken breast
1 red apple – Honeycrisp works well
1 granny smith apple
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup cherry juice infused Craisins
1 to 1/2 cups light mayonnaise
salt and pepper to taste
Chop both apples into small cubes, and place into a bowl. Sprinkle over 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over apples, this will help them from turning brown. Add chopped chicken, chopped celery, and craisins. Mix well. Add 1 cup of light mayonnaise, and stir well. Depending on how the salad is coated, you may want to add an additional 1/2 cup of light mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper. Allow flavors to marry in the refrigerator in a covered container for about an hour before serving.
After making this recipe a few times, I added some toasted almond slivers to this salad, and thought the almond slivers added a really nice touch.
