Author Notes: This was based off of a deli chicken salad sandwich I had once. I loved it so I tried to recreate it, and then decided I liked this version better. I've also made this with turkey, which was great, and I bet it would also work with potatoes (though the fruit and nuts here are catered to chicken so might need to be adjusted). As usual, all measurements are approximate. - LucyS

Makes 5-4 cups

2 cups cooked chicken or turkey, shredded or cut into 1/2" dice
1/2 yellow onion or one whole shallot, diced
about 1 cups chopped celery (I like it fairly fine, so I cut each rib in half lengthwise before dicing)
3/4 cups dried cranberries
3/4 cups slivered almonds
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/2 to 1 cup Mayonnaise (to taste, but enough to bind)
salt and pepper
1 apple, cut into about 1/4" cubes
