I like the almond chicken salad with cranberries.

Cranberries are good in anything! They would be a good addition to the recipe. I like lots of mixtures of textures; and flavors combined that aren’t usually paired...

I like anything that makes our ordinary lives a little ‘surprising’ :-)

I guess everyone has a favorite chicken salad. Mine is man-friendly, meaning it uses canned chicken, and the measurements for other ingredients are... well, you don't need to measure anything.

Open canned chicken, and rinse it really well in the sink. I do this in the can, because then you can use the lid to mash down and make sure just about every bit of water is out. I usually use two cans.

Cut up an apple in small dices. I also use a pear if I have one. Dice up some celery, and mince some green onion, and throw that in. All of this adds crunch.

Now, add some grapes. I usually slice mine in half. A handful of raisins (I like the mix that has cranberries and blueberries added) and whatever seeds/nuts you like.

Now, it's time for just enough mayo to mix and bind it, and the secret ingredient: Curry Powder!

Use that to taste; I use a lot. It's ready to eat, but I like to put it in the fridge for a couple of hours first.

It's my favorite thing to make, and everybody likes it at my house.
