Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, gently combine the cooked chicken, mayonnaise, diced celery, chopped apple, dried cranberries, and horseradish sauce.

02

Step

Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking.

03

Step

Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. (Approximately 5 minutes)

04

Step

Cover the bowl tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly. (2 hours)

For a richer flavor, use homemade mayonnaise. Alternatively, a high-quality store-bought mayonnaise will also work well.
Adjust the amount of horseradish sauce to suit your taste preferences. Start with a smaller amount and add more as needed.
To prevent the apple from browning, toss it with a squeeze of lemon juice before adding it to the salad.
Serve this Autumn Chicken Salad on croissants, lettuce wraps, or crackers for a delightful lunch or light dinner.
