THE BEST Apple Cranberry Chicken Salad

This might just be THE BEST Apple Cranberry Chicken Salad … ever. So many interesting flavors going on!

THE BEST Apple Cranberry Chicken Salad

Have I told you about how my sisters and I are sort of obsessed with each other?

Well, maybe it’s not mutual. But I feel so lucky every day to have the most amazing siblings.

Let me illustrate it via an actual text conversation.

Jordan: Good things happened today so we’re celebrating tonight.

Sister: So I should put this $5 bottle of wine back and get something more expensive?

Teehehehe. No questions asked. She just gets me.

How do we celebrate you ask? Well, with a bottle of Santa Margherita and THE BEST Apple Cranberry Chicken Salad.

THE BEST Apple Cranberry Chicken Salad

Every so often, my sister and I get together to meal prep. We share the groceries and the effort, and that way we don’t have to spend the next week and a half eating what we make! When you’re feeding one, full recipes tend to linger.

So, this week we tried out this healthy chicken salad recipe, and it did not disappoint. I always mix Greek yogurt with some mayonnaise because I think the yogurt alone is a bit bitter. And because I like to be bad sometimes.

Oh, and if you’re wondering why it’s just piled on a plate, it’s because that’s my preferred way to eat chicken salad. With a fork. Sometimes straight out of the food storage container.

With the sweetness of the apple chunks, plus the amazing flavor added by dried cranberries … Oh, and don’t forget your standard grapes and celery! Top it all off with slivered almonds for the perfect crunch and you’ve got yourself some of the best chicken salad … ever.

The dressing is a simple mixture of Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, S & P. Besides all the chopping this requires, it’s sssooo simple. It’s hard to mess this one up.

So please. Do yourself a favor and make a big old batch of THE BEST Apple Cranberry Chicken Salad. This recipe makes a lot a lot, so please cut it in half if you’re not feeding multiple people.

Wine dates without me should not be allowed. I love chicken salad.
