    Every now and then it's nice to have a delicious salad for dinner. This is probably common for many of you, but not so much in my house. This Asian Chicken Cranberry Salad is so good that I will be making this more often for us going forward.

    As with most salads, this recipe is super easy to make. Especially when you use rotisserie chicken. It will probably take you more time to remove the chicken from the carcass than make this salad recipe.

    The beauty of this Asian salad recipe is that you can modify it to your liking. Have a nut allergy? Drop the almonds. Don't have any sesame seeds on hand? No problem. Leave them out. Don't like dried cranberries? Substitute for some mandarin oranges.

      This Asian salad was one of the best salads that I have eaten in a long time. I am a great salad eater, but had never had an Asian salad. From now on it will be my first choice in salads. Very easy to make and oh so good.
