Sweet and chewy cranberries, crunchy celery and walnuts and tangy yogurt combine with chicken for a salad sensation. If you feel the need to eat it straight from the bowl, standing in front of the open refrigerator, I won't judge. I've done it myself.
Ingredients
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
½ cup dried cranberries
¼ cup walnuts, chopped
½ cup celery, sliced
3 green onions, sliced
3 Tbs mayonnaise
¼ cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 Tbs dried oregano
1 tsp salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine chicken, cranberries, walnuts and onions; mix well.
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice, oregano and pepper; pour over chicken mixture. Mix gently.
Tastes best if you have time to refrigerate, covered, for 1 to 2 hours.
