I have always been a fan of chicken salad sandwiches but didn’t start eating it with fruit or better yet berries until last year when I tried it for the first time! As a child there would be no way that I would go for fruit or berries in my chicken salad but once I tried it with cranberries I was hooked!
This month I am participating in a recipe contest with Cape Cod Select with their frozen cranberries and decided to make my Cranberry Chicken Salad that is delicious and is perfect for those looking for an appetizer with a little kick to it!
Normally I would put this chicken salad on some bread and make a sandwich but you can easy take a baguette, cut it into thin slices and put some of this sweet and TANGY chicken salad on top of it to make a perfect little appetizer! I like to top mine with some of the Cape Cod Frozen Cranberries that I dehydrated first before making the chicken salad.
I just LOVE the Cape Cod Select Frozen Cranberries! I like having a big bag of these cranberries in the freezer that I can use for a variety of drinks and dishes and most of all, I LOVE that it is a small women-owned family business! The Rhodes family has been growing cranberries on their 800 acre cranberry farm for more than 75 years and is now in its fourth generation.
I consider cranberries to be one of my favorite super foods so I am happy that the Cap Cod Select cranberries are available year round! You can find their frozen cranberries in a store or you can also order frozen cranberries from Cape Cod Select.
This is just one of many ways you can use the Cape Cod Select Cranberries in your everyday meals! Want to serve my Cranberry Chicken Salad Bites on your next get together? You can find my recipe that you can print below:
