Description

A light and vibrant chicken salad featuring a tangy honey-Dijon vinaigrette, sweet cranberries, and crisp celery. Perfect for a quick, healthy meal.


Ingredients

2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 cup diced celery
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

Mix olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl to create the vinaigrette.
Add shredded chicken, celery, red onion, and dried cranberries to the dressing.
Toss gently until fully coated and flavors meld, refrigerating for 1–2 hours if desired.
Chill before serving to let flavors develop.


Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
Replace Dijon mustard with whole-grain mustard for a heartier flavor.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Serve with croutons or on a bed of spinach if desired.
