You’ll need cooked chicken, dried cranberries, mayo, celery, pecans, and seasonings for a perfect mix of flavors and textures.
1. Gather Your Ingredients
Use a fork or your hands to shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces, making sure it's evenly torn for easy mixing.
2. Shred the Chicken
Dice fresh celery into small pieces for crunch, and chop pecans for a nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet cranberries.
3. Chop the Celery & Pecans
In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a creamy, tangy dressing for the salad.
4. Mix the Dressing
Toss the chicken, cranberries, celery, and pecans into the dressing, mixing well to coat everything in the creamy sauce.
5. Combine Everything
Let the salad sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend together for a tastier bite.
6. Chill for Best Flavor
Spoon onto bread for a sandwich or wrap in a tortilla for a fresh, satisfying meal that’s perfect for lunch or a light dinner.
7. Serve & Enjoy!
