Chicken Salad Recipe
Serving size: about 4 sandwich size portions
Ingredients:
- 1- 9.75oz can of chicken breast (premium preferred)
- 4- Tablespoons mayo with olive oil (regular mayo may be substituted)
- 10- red grapes
- ¼- cup glazed walnuts (standard walnuts may be substituted)
- 10- whole cranberries (fresh or canned)
Directions:
- Open and drain the can of chick breast. No need to save the fluid in this recipe.
- Mix 3 tablespoons of mayo with the chicken in a medium bowl. Do not worry if the mixture appears a little dry at this stage.
- Cut the grapes in half. Taking the half sections, cut into four and add to the bowl of chicken.
- Use ¼ cup of glazed walnuts. The larger nuts may need to be cut in half or in thirds. This can be up to the discretion of the person preparing.
- Cut the whole cranberries in half and add to the bowl. (canned cranberries may need to be drained or removed from any sauces)
- Add the last tablespoon of mayo and mix all of the ingredients together for an even blend.
Once mixed, the salad is ready now but it can be stored safely in a sealed container in the fridge. Remember that it is always possible to add more ingedients, but difficult to remove items once they are added. Add items slowly but following this recipe should give you a prefect blend.
Each bite should be like a treasure hunt. Different tastes are always waiting. One bite may have a grape while another mixes grape with walnuts. Mixed properly, you will experience an adventure with your tastebuds. While the chicken is still the star of the dish, the fruit and nuts offer different flavors that even people that do not like chicken salad will enjoy.
