s/o recipes
Does anyone have a good one for chicken salad with craisins and such? I'm thinking of Pret in DC's chicken salad, which has craisins and shredded apples. I randomly decided to bake a turkey breast on Sunday and now I need to do something with the leftovers.

Re: s/o recipes
I absolutely love this recipe. It includes apples, craisans, celery, pecans, etc. I really like the curry in it but if that's not your style, you could leave it out and I'm sure it would still taste great.

This one is my favorite (sorry for the weird format of the recipe - it's a recipe from the internet, with my notations on what I changed, saved on Gmail so I can replicate... I'm practically incapable of following a real recipe!)
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halvesI think I used about 2 lbs - I baked it in the overn on 350, and just added a little salt and pepper for taste, then cubed it. You can also sort of poach it on the stove, or cut up precooked chicken.1 1/2 cups chopped celery
I added less celery, I think. Only 1 piece of stalk from a large head
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragonI used more tarragon. I basically just used a handful from the bunch, and chopped it up
1 cup chopped fresh parsleyI used less parsley - again, just a handful chopped up.
1 1/2 cups mayonnaiseDidn't measure this. Just put a few spoonfuls in.
1 cup raisinsUsed craisins instead
1 cup diced red onionI didn't use a whole cup. Probably about 1/3-1/2 of a large onionI also added one or two handfuls of chopped up cashews. Instead of chopping, just put them in a ziplock & smash them with something. That works too.
Here is what I always use after Thanksgiving:
Turkey Waldorf Salad
2c shredded leftover turkey
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 apple or pear, chopped
1c raisin/dried cherry mix
1/2c pecans, toasted, chopped
1/2c light mayo
1tsp honey
1/4tsp salt
Whisk together mayo, honey and salt. Toss together.
Oh boy, these all sound yummy. I'll have to decide which one to try first! Thanks!
