A different take on Chicken Salad. The honey mustard gives it a sweet taste than just old mayo. The fruit sweetens it up just a tad & the onions & cashews gives it a nice crunch. It all equals out not too sweet but oh so yummy!

How To Make sweet chicken salad

1
DEBONING THE CHICKEN: Do not add the skin in with the chicken. Place in seperate bowl & give it to the dogs!

2
DRESSING: In a non-metal (non-reactive) bowl, whisk together all dressng ingredients. Refrigerate 30 minutes so flavors marry together.
3
SALAD: In a small bowl, place avocado & toss with lime juice; let sit 10 minutes.
4
Mix together chicken, onion, melons, grapes,cashews & avocado mixture; mix to combine.
5
Add dressing; cover & refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until completely chilled. (the more it sits - the better it tastes)
6
Eat as is on a bed of lettuce or make a sandwich out of it by adding a piece of cheese & whatever else you may like.
