Default Chicken Salad

Love chicken salad but have never made any that I really liked. Found this recipe that the whole family loves. To make it even easier we often use cooked rotisserie chicken from the store. We make this before going on a trip and have it chilled and ready for an quick/easy lunch or a light dinner.


The walnuts or pecans add some crunch, but you can leave them out if you'd like. Serve this chicken salad as a sandwich, or serve in lettuce leaves for a lighter luncheon. Light mayonnaise may be used in this salad.
Ingredients:
3 cups diced cooked chicken
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup diced celery
2 to 3 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup diced apple
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, optional
4 to 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon curry powder, or to taste, optional
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
lettuce leaves
Preparation:
Combine the chicken, cranberries, celery, onion, apple, and walnuts, if using.
In a cup or small bowl combine 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise. the lemon juice, curry powder, if using, and salt and pepper. Stir into the chicken, adding more mayonnaise as needed and for taste. Line bread or rolls with lettuce and spread chicken salad on the bread or serve the chicken salad on lettuce-lined plates.
Serves 4.

Wonder if you could use cold pork loin? My MIL hates chicken but this salad sounds absolutely wonderful and refreshing. May try it with pork and leave the curry out.
What do you think?
Will make it with chicken for DH and me!
Thanks for sharing!! All of you! Yum!
With this heat, I am all for any recipes that are cool tasting and light!

I love pork too so I bet that would work fine. I am also not a fan of curry but this is one dish I do like it in.
