About Cranberry chicken salad with pecans

Cranberry Chicken Salad with Pecans is a flavorful and nutritious dish rooted in American cuisine, blending savory and sweet elements for a satisfying meal or snack. This salad features tender chunks of cooked chicken breast, dried cranberries for a touch of tartness, and crunchy pecans for a nutty richness. Typically combined with celery and red onions for texture, and tossed in a creamy mayonnaise-based dressing, it can be served on fresh greens, whole-grain bread, or as a wrap filling. This dish is high in protein from the chicken and offers heart-healthy fats from the pecans. Dried cranberries add antioxidants but may contain added sugars, so moderation is key. While the mayonnaise contributes creaminess, opting for Greek yogurt or a lighter dressing can reduce calories and unhealthy fats. Perfect for meal prepping, it delivers a balance of flavor, texture, and nutritional benefits.
