Ingredients

Salad Ingredients

2 cups diced cooked chicken (store-bought sliced cooked chicken used)
½ cup sliced almonds
½ cup apple (finely diced)
⅓ cup dried cranberries
⅓ cup thinly sliced green onions
½ cup finely chopped celery

Dressing Ingredients

⅓ cup mayonnaise
3 Tbsp sour cream
1 Tbsp Dijon-style mustard
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
1-1½ Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp white wine
pepper to taste

Instructions

Whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, mustard, white wine, and pepper. Set aside.
Gather the rest of the ingredients.
If the chicken pieces are large, use an electric hand mixer on low speed to break them down into tiny pieces, essentially mimicking a very fine dice.
Combine the diced cooked chicken, sliced almonds, finely diced apple, dried cranberries, thinly sliced green onions, and finely chopped celery in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the dressing on top and mix.
Refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors marinate.
Serve in sandwich bread, with apple slices, on lettuce boats or crackers.
