Southern Chicken Salad

Creamy, crunchy, sweet, and savory. This is the kind of Southern chicken salad that disappears fast. Tender chicken, juicy grapes, toasted pecans, dried cranberries, and a hint of sweetness come together in the most irresistible way. It is perfect for croissants, crackers, or straight from the bowl. Around here, this is not just lunch. It is a little taste of tradition.

Chicken Bowtie Pasta Salad

This pasta salad has the works! Pecans, crisp red and green peppers, sweet red onions, black olives, broccoli, chicken, and Parmesan cheese covered in a creamy, sweet, tangy dressing that is impossible not to love. I love this salad. It’s just soooo good and beautiful with all the colorful veggies plus, adding the chicken makes it a complete meal. I got the recipe from a friend at a Christmas party years ago and have been making it ever since. If you have extra vegetables on hand, you should throw it into this pasta salad. Like cherry tomatoes, artichokes, shredded carrots, diced cucumbers and chickpeas are delicious in this salad too. I simply can’t say enough about the dressing. It truly makes the whole dish come together. Something magical happens when Caesar, Italian, and honey mustard dressing are blended together.
