I’ve made this chicken salad for several bridal showers and luncheons. It’s  really easy to make, unique in it’s taste and only about 4 weight watcher points.

The pecans give it a slightly smoky taste and the dried cranberries give it a subtle sweet/sour kick.

Serve it with fresh sweet rolls or over a bed of lettuce.
