I'm pretty finicky when it
comes to chicken salads, so I was pretty surprised with how much I
enjoyed this one. The salad itself is chalk full of chunks of white meat
chicken, pecan pieces, celery, poppy seeds and cranberries. The
dressing that is used is sweeter but not so sweet that it's
overwhelming. All the flavors blend together nicely and make for a
perfect little dish, especially on a hot day where no one really wants
to spend time in the kitchen.
Consistency wise,
this is a looser chicken salad. The dressing is runnier, but it's not
so runny that it's a sloppy mess. I found I enjoyed this the best over a
bed of garden salad. The dressing on the chicken alone was enough where
I didn't need any added salad dressing.
I will
say, out of the serving that I had I only found one small piece of
cartilage on the chicken (which unfortunately, is pretty common with
chicken salad or even grilled chicken out at a restaurant). The piece
was really small and was the only piece in the entire container, so I
can't knock anyone down for points on that one. Overall, I quite enjoyed
this and found the cranberries and pecan pieces to be a home run
regarding flavor.
A serving, 4 ounces (113g), is 230 calories or 6 points plus values.
