Chicken Salad


2 Chicken Breasts fully cooked (I just boil mine)
2 Stalks Celery
1 Apple (I prefer Pink Lady apples because they are sweet)
1/4-1/3 of a Large Onion (Red)
1/2 - 1 C. chopped Walnuts (Optional)
1/2 C. Craisins
Lite Mayonnaise to moisten

Chop up Chicken to desired consistency (I use a food processor).
Chop up Apple, Onion, then Celery and add to chicken
Add chopped Walnuts and Craisins

Mix together

Add Mayo to moisten.

Tastes best when refrigerated overnight.

My only friend in Virginia shared this recipe with me and then I changed it up a bit to suit my own tastes. :) I like to spread mine over toasted bread with a slice of colby/jack cheese, lettuce and tomato.

You can also spread over crackers as an appetizer. Yum!
