Chicken salad with a twist

[JWatkins]

Here is something you might want to try. It is a great twist on chicken salad and is very delicious and refreshing. One key ingredient may be hard to find unless you have a Trader Joes near, but it is worth the hunt.

1 Gala apple chopped fine
2 stalks of celery chopped fine
1 can of Costco chicken breast meat
1/2 cup of walnuts chopped fine or placed in a bag and smashed with a hammer
1/2 to 2/3 cup of orange flavored dried cranberries chopped fine
Mayo to taste
Salt and pepper to taste.

This is quick and the orange flavored cranberries really give it a refreshing and a little sweet taste along with the Gala apple. It can be doubled easily, but the basic will give you more than a few sandwiches.

I make mine with 2 cans Sam's Members Mark chicken,pineapple tidbits,seedless grapes(red,green or combination)chopped pecans and enough mayo to your liking,also delish!! A bowl of this usually goes with us on all camping trips. I bet those orange flavored cranberries would be really good in some pancakes,reminds me of some orange,cranberry,almond pancakes we had in Florida this Jan.at the Village Inn Restaurant.Yum!

I wonder if soaking the dried cranberries in some spices rum would seriously alter the recipe?

I don't know, but give it a try or soak yourself with some good rum and it won't matter!
