Fruit & Nut Chicken Salad

    Very good chicken salad recipe! I think next time I make this, it needs some salt and pepper or something else because we thought it was a bit bland. I loved the twist of cooking the dried cranberries in the apple juice -- such a neat added taste-dimension to the recipe. I will definitely make this again, adding some seasonings. Thank you for posting!

    Fruit & Nut Chicken Salad,From The Gadsden Times (online edition) by Mary Lucille Jordan. Can be made with poached or roasted chicken or turkey. Dried cranberries can be substituted for the raisins — diced celery can be substituted for the onions! Chill if desired, or serve immediately. ——– The salad pictured is made with raisins, both celery and green onions to fill the 1/3 cup measure, (not 1/3 cup of each), and about twice the amount of toasted almonds as called for in the recipe — the almonds were so good I couldn’t resist doubling the amount! It is a nice combination of flavors — NOTE: salt and pepper can be added to taste.,Very good chicken salad recipe!
