Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pine nuts lightly toasted
- 4 cups cooked chicken breast diced
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1 large celery stalk diced
- 1 – 2 green onions thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder or 1 – 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, celery, green onions, cranberries, and toasted pine nuts. Gently stir everything together using a fork. Gradually mix in the mayonnaise, ensuring it coats the ingredients evenly. If the consistency seems a bit dry, add an extra tablespoon of mayonnaise at a time until it reaches your preferred texture.
- Season with salt and pepper to your liking, and give the mixture a final stir. Let the salad rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.
