TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - This chicken salad is so flavorful, has an amazing texture because of the addition of crisp celery, tart dried cranberries, and a nice dressing combination. You can substitute ingredients as you wish; make it your own.

Cranberry-chicken salad by Mama Steph

3 cups chopped cooked chicken (from1 rotisserie chicken or some roasted or boiled chicken pieces)

1/2 cup chopped celery

1/3 cup dried cranberries

2 Tbsp. sweet pickle relish

2 Tbsp. chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish

2 Tbsp. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard

2/3 cup mayonnaise

1/4 to 1/3 cup minced red onions sprinkled with red wine vinegar, if you have it available.

Method:

Place chicken in a bowl. Add the celery, dried cranberries, relish, chives, parsley, onions mustard and mayonnaise. Use a spatula to stir it so it is well-combined. I didn’t add salt, but you may want to sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon over it if you want some.

If possible, refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving.
