Salads are a staple of most diets. Some prefer it with pasta while others go with tuna. Whichever one you choose, it’s important to play around with the recipe or add new flavors to stimulate the taste buds.

Theresa Strati’s mixture of choice is her Chicken Salad. The resident of the 2500 block of South Juniper Street adds cranberries to the mix for her tasty take of this classic.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup of mayonnaise
1/4 cup of sour cream
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of lemon peel, grated
1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of white pepper
2 cups of chicken, cooked and diced
1 cup of celery, sliced
1/4 cup of green onions, sliced
1/4 cup of sweetened dried cranberries
Lettuce leaves, to line the bottom of plates

Directions:

Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, sugar, lemon peel, mustard, salt and pepper in a large bowl.

Add chicken, celery, onions and cranberries. Stir.

Cover and refrigerate for one hour to let the flavors blend. Serve the salad on lettuce-lined plates.
