A refreshing and easy-to-make chicken salad with a sweet and savory combination of deli-cooked chicken, dried cranberries, and creamy mayonnaise, enhanced with lemon juice and dill.

Ingredients

2 cups deli cooked chicken, chopped

2/3 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 celery stalks, chopped

2 tablespoons green onion, chopped

Juice from 1/2 lemon

1 teaspoon dried dill

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken, dried cranberries, celery, and green onion.
  2. Add in the mayonnaise, lemon juice, dried dill, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Stir everything together until well combined. Ensure the mayonnaise evenly coats all the ingredients.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.
  5. Serve chilled, or keep it refrigerated until ready to enjoy.

Notes

For a healthier twist, swap the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.

Add chopped walnuts or pecans for some crunch.

For extra sweetness, include chopped apples or grapes.

Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker prep time.

For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based mayo.
