I love chicken salad especially if it has a great texture & is tasty too. I do not like my chicken swimming in mayo but rather just enough to hold it all together. I enjoy the addition of cranberries & nuts that gives this salad even more flavor. This one is packed with protein for sure. Hope you enjoy.

    I make this salad and eat it wrapped inside romaine lettuce leaves or any other kind of lettuce that will roll up easily. I have an allergy to wheat, so I am trying alternative ways to eat my favorite foods by omitting bread.
