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.
