Ingredients:

Serving

cranberry-walnut chicken salad
adapted quite loosely from gourmet
makes 4 to 6 servings.
4 cups cubed (1/2 inch) cooked chicken (about 1 3/4 lb) (i like to brine mine first, then poach it in water for 15 to 20 minutes because i am completely neurotic about chicken getting dried out in any way.)
1 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
1 celery rib, diced into small bits (1 cup)
2 or more tbsp finely chopped shallot
1 cup dried cranberries
2/3 to 3/4 cup mayonnaise
3 tbsp tarragon vinegar , if you have it , or champagne
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh tarragon or herb or your choice
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Directions:

Really complicated directions: Toss together all ingredients in a large bowl until combined well.
I like to eat mine on top of chopped Romaine lettuce, or with toasted pocket-less pita wedges.
Variations: Are almost endless, but this is particularly good with leftover Thanksgiving turkey and chopped pecans.
