Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, dried cranberries, diced celery, toasted pecans, and minced shallot (or red onion).
Step 2: Make the Dressing
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), salt, black pepper, and the optional honey and Dijon mustard for extra depth of flavor.
Step 3: Combine
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss gently to combine until evenly coated.
Step 4: Chill & Serve
For the best flavor, refrigerate the salad for about 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together.
