About Cranberry walnut chicken salad

Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad combines tender, shredded chicken breast with the tangy sweetness of dried cranberries and the nutty crunch of chopped walnuts, creating a flavorful balance of textures and tastes. Often rooted in American cuisine, this salad is typically dressed in a light mayonnaise or yogurt-based dressing to enhance creaminess while keeping calories moderate. Rich in protein from the chicken and healthy fats from the walnuts, it also offers antioxidants from the cranberries. Traditionally served over a bed of leafy greens or alongside whole-grain bread, it can be part of a balanced meal. While delicious and nutrient-packed, the salad may have higher sugar content from the cranberries and calories from the dressing, so portion control is key for those mindful of their dietary goals. Perfect for lunch or a light dinner, it offers a satisfying bite with both indulgence and nutrition in mind.
