HomeCranberry Rice Chicken Salad

Cranberry Rice Chicken Salad

Festive, Delicious and Nutritious!

Whether you’re cooking for your family or guests, this Cranberry Rice Chicken Salad has everything you need to insure success. It’s easy to make, colorful and appetizing. If you use a cooked grocery store chicken (instead of the chicken breasts) you can easily make this salad in about 45 minutes. I suggest that you prepare it the night before though because the flavors meld and are enhanced.

I recently served this main dish salad for Girls Night Out at my house and it was a big hit! In fact, there were no leftovers for Greg so I’ll need to prepare it again this weekend…I’m already looking forward to it.

You can even substitute leftover turkey for a post Thanksgiving salad that is delicious, nutritious and low cal. Enjoy!
