This was amazing! Made it for a luncheon and everyone loved it. Easy to make and tasted great. The sweet craisins and crunchy nuts are the perfect combination to make this chicken salad stand out. I used almonds instead of cashews (personal preference), but otherwise made it exactly as the recipe instructs. I kept the "extras" (tomatoes, lettuce, and some provolone slices) on the side for guests to add according to their personal preference. Will definitely make this again.

This is absolutely delicious! I've been trying different chicken salad recipes, and this one was my favorite one so far. The dried cranberries really added to the flavor and cashews gave it a nice crunch. I've added this recipe to my favorites folder and I will definitely make this many times again.

I didn't happen to have any leftover chicken, but was really in the mood for chicken salad, so I just used canned chicken. I also didn't have celery salt, so instead of using garlic powder, I just used garlic salt in place of both ingredients. I also added apple, as another reviewer suggested. And I used candied pecans instead of cashews. Serve it up on some toasted wheat bread...oh MAN it's good! It's like a Waldorf Chicken Salad Sand! Mmmm...

I used sliced almonds because that is what I had on hand. I added sliced grapes and a touch of spicy mustard. Yummy!!!!

Delicious! Plus it's a great way to use up leftover grilled chicken or rotisserie chicken. I used 3/4 cup of Hellman's light mayo cut with 1/4 cup of reduced fat sour cream. I added a bit of curry powder for a little kick and I love the crunch from the celery. Since I didn't have any cashews on hand I added some chopped apple. This was perfect on toasted whole grain bread and didn't require any extra mayo or tomato, just some crisp lettuce - YUM!

Absolutely delicious! I made it exactly to the recipe (except leftover baked chicked instead of grilled). I can't think of any way this could be improved!

This is very good. I have made it several times and it's the only chicken salad recipe I make. We prefer extra nuts and craisins and I use light FF yogurt w/some lemon juice rather than mayo because of an egg allergy. It's also good with pecans instead of cashews.

I was not sure about the crasins and cashews but it was great! My son said it was delish! Next time I may chop the cashews and maybe try sourdough.

This chicken salad was GREAT!! I made it for a party of about 30 people & everyone loved it. I ran a little short on mayo so I added a small amount of pineapple juice to keep it moist. I will make this again - just a smaller amount.
