I thought this was OK. It was a little too sweet for me. It did taste much better the second day. I added in some finely chopped onions and then added some more mayonnaise to counteract the sweetness. I loved the cranberries in it. I will definately be using them in future chicken salads. If you like sweet and honey taste, then you will probably love this. If you like things more savory, cut back on the honey. Overall, it was good after standing to allow the flavors to blend. -
This was incredible! I mean YUM! I halved the recipe (to fit the amount of cooked chicken I had) and added some sliced green onion, as well. I used half full-fat mayonnaise, and half non-fat yogurt, which worked just fine. I'll definitely be making this again -- thanks! -
Wow, what an awsome chicken salad! Loved the dried cranberries and pecans! I did halve the honey to prevent it getting all too sweet. Fabulous!

I live in the healthiest state in the nation good old Colorado! I manage a little downtown shop in our town of Colorado Springs. And my favorite thing in the world to do is cook for my friends and family! Of course why else would I be here. I love good food or what some would call "gourmet" food...I just call it everyday food and wouldn't eat anything else! I love restaurants and devote journals to writing everything good and bad about the restaurants that I eat in...some of my "reviews" would not be appreciated by the chefs, but I tell it how it is! I despise going to restaurants and paying money for food that I can simply make at home. I am so happy to find this website, because I have been attempting to count calories, but I find it impossible with all of the crazy things that I enjoy making...now it looks like there is going to be a way for me to do this and continue doing what I love which is COOKING!
