Hey, y’all! If there’s a food that has been a tried and true favorite of mine throughout the years, it’s chicken salad. While there are many varieties (and, to be honest, I love most all of ’em), I have two favorites: traditional southern chicken salad with grapes and Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad. I’m so excited to share this recipe with y’all today!
