Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken about 4 cups cooked, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!
  • 3/4 cup celery diced
  • 1/2 cup green onion sliced
  • 1/3 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 cup almond tip: buy bagged ones in the produce section by the salad toppers, sliced; toasted
  • 1/2 cup orange juice concentrate not diluted, thawed, frozen
  • 1/2 cup olive oil light

Instructions

  1. Combine chicken, celery, green onion, and cranberries in a bowl.  Set aside.
  2. Whisk together orange juice concentrate and olive oil until smooth.  Start pouring over chicken mixture to combine.  *You may not use all of the dressing.* Use as much as you need to coat to your liking and toss together. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.  Chill for 2 hours or more, then gently mix in almonds before serving.

Notes

  • *Look for olive oil labeled "Light".  This doesn't not mean light in calories- it refers to the flavor. Light olive oil has a very mild flavor- if you use regular extra virgin olive oil, it will impart a stronger olive flavor to your salad.  We suggest the light!
