Yet another recipe from Smitten Kitchen... so yummy! Cranberry-Walnut Chicken Salad
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
4 cups cubed (1/2 inch) cooked chicken (about 1 3/4 lb)
1 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
1 celery rib, diced into small bits (1 cup)
2 or more tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1 cup dried cranberries
2/3 to 3/4 cup mayonnaise (I use just enough to coat)
3 tablespoons tarragon vinegar, if you have it, or champagne or white wine vinegar works well, too
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon or herb or your choice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Really complicated directions: Toss together all ingredients in a large bowl until combined well.
It's great on top of chopped Romaine lettuce, or with toasted pocketless pita wedges.
Variations: Are almost endless, but this is particularly good with leftover Thanksgiving turkey and chopped pecans.
