Directions
Southern Honey-Chicken Salad, This is the best chicken salad I’ve ever made It’s a little fancier than my ‘regular’ chicken salad, and it’s a nice presentation with whole grain crackers (like the Kashi crackers) or put a scoop on a large spinach leaf Great for a brunch event The different textures of the ingredients and the sweet dressing make a great combination I found this recipe in The 2006 Southern Living Annual Recipes collection, hence the Southern name Enjoy!, I also own the 2006 Southern Living Annual Recipe Book and found this there Made it this week for a Salad Supper that we did for guests Husband really enjoyed it, and he is picky about chicken salad I did use full fat mayo, as the book doesn’t specify light mayo So I’m not sure how that would affect the taste, but I guess that’s up to you I think if I were going to lighten it up I would do half full fat mayo and half fat free yogurt or sour cream I served this as a choice of mini sandwiches (served on whole wheat dinner rolls) or as is We had it alongside of shrimp salad, green salad, raw veggie dippers, a variety of dressing/dips, cornbread muffins, and a nut bowl , Made for Safari supper potluck tag, 2009 This is a very nice and light tasting chicken salad I liked the addition of cranberries I added a lot more pepper simply because we like it that way I also added some crumbled blue cheese, and it set of the sweet and salty aspects of the cranberries, honey, and blue cheese Very nice!
