Here are the ingredients:8 cups chopped cooked chicken
3 celery ribs, chopped
5 green onions, thinly chopped
1 1/2 cups toasted pecans, chopped into small pieces
1 6 oz. package sweetened dried cranberries
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup honey mustard dressing
Stir all ingredients together. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Sometimes, I add more mayo and honey mustard dressing. I also chop the cranberries into smaller pieces.
And here is the finished product.
This chicken salad can be served on croissants or on a lettuce leaf. The secret ingredient is definitely the honey mustard dressing. It is great for a luncheon, when company comes, or just anytime! Yum-Yum!
I hope I will be able to join you next week. I must begin my marathon cookie baking for my Open House at the store in November. Join Michael at Designs by Gollum for more Foodie Friday fun.

I make a recipe simular to this one that I love, but I never thought about adding honey mustard. Sounds so good, I am going to give it a try!!
Ooooh, Joan! This looks good. I love chicken salad and am always looking for ways to jazz it up. I would never have thought about cranberries, but that sounds so good. Thanks for the heads up and the recipe!
Happy Foodie Friday...

This looks to be a good variation on my chicken salad. But it's a lot of pecan nuts! These are very expensive here. But I am sure going to try it.
This is such a lovely salad. Thanks for sharing it with us. I hope you are having a wonderful day.
