Healthy Chicken Salad with Apples Cranberries - Guide Recipe
Leftover rotisserie chicken , apples , celery , and dried cranberries in a light creamy Greek yogurt based dressing combine to create this light and delicious healthy chicken salad with apples and cranberries.
Which reminds me of a classic Waldorf salad – only lighter – and with chicken.
I served this chicken salad with apples and cranberries for lunch on a bed of mixed greens and baby arugula. And garnished it with a little shredded carrot and chopped cucumber.
