Cranberry Chicken Salad

1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2-4 tbsp mayonnaise
1 medium pink lady apple, finely chopped
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup chopped nuts
1 tbsp rosemary, minced
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded or cubed (i used lime crockpot chicken)
Salt and pepper, to taste
(makes 4 large or 6 small meals)

Mix wet ingredients together first, then add to dry ingredients!

What I love most about this recipe is how fast and easy it is to prepare.  Aside from the time it took to cook the chicken, I was able to throw this salad together in about 15 minutes. Most of the ingredients are shelf stable items that you probably have in your pantry right now! For the chicken I used half a batch of crockpot chicken, but next time I think I’ll just use canned chicken. Can’t get much easier than that! This is a great meal make on Sunday to have for lunches during the work week.
Jesse added chopped pickle to his, but I don’t like pickle mixed in with my food. Instead, I had a pickle alongside my salad. The flavors were good together, so I bet it would be tasty mixed in the salad if you like that sort of thing. Or you could sub pickle juice for the apple cider vinegar if you didn’t have any of the vinegar on hand. Don’t like apples? Try grapes instead!
Just a few more tips…
When I first made this recipe, I didn’t wait for the chicken to cool and I didn’t use any mayonnaise. Big mistake. Make sure the chicken has cooled down, and use the mayo. Otherwise, the salad is just too dry. Anyway, have fun with it, and make it your own. Enjoy!
