This simple chicken salad is healthy and fresh, a unique combination of a slightly sweet dressing, tart dried cranberries, and pungent feta cheese. Add walnuts for a bit of texture interest, and put everything over shredded chicken breast meat… it’s perfect on its own, or in a pita, lettuce wrap, on crackers, in an endive leaf… the possibilities are endless.
For this recipe, you will need:
• 3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
• 1/4 to 1/3 cup mayonnaise
• A splash of orange Juice
• 1/3 cup craisins (dried cranberries)
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• Feta cheese (crumbled) to taste
Whisk the mayo and OJ together in a small bowl, then dump everything together in a large bowl and stir.
Add a little salt if you’d like. Refrigerate until cool. Serve over lettuce or make a sandwich/wrap/pita.

why not cook your own cranberries with less sugar and have a healthier salad. the cranraisins are loaded with sugar and basically have no nutritional value.
Wow, looks mouth watering I really like to taste that food already,…I think this is so delicious and nutritious.

I feel my mouth starting to water.
I'm glad I found your website!
I love to cook too.
I'm not a huge fan of the celery-y onion-y stuff either (though I do like a little celery in it occasionally, just not too overpowering. I hope you like this one! Let me know how it goes if you try it.
I must try this! I'm not a fan of chicken salad that's too mayo-y, or has celery or onions in it, which it often does. This looks like it would be just about right for me!
Yup, it was!
It was!
That looks so yummy!
Yum that looks gooood!
