This might just be the easiest lunch recipe I have up on the blog. And really, it’s just my interpretation of a recipe I have loved for years: Trader Joe’s Wine Country Chicken Salad. There is something about the sweet-and-tangy sauce, the crunchy pecans and sweet and sour cranberries that makes this chicken salad especially satisfying, and that is what I am ALL about when it comes to lunches! Easy? Check. Satisfying and energizing for my busy day? Check and check again. Did I mention the sauce only has 4 ingredients (not including salt, of course)? You NEED to make this one!
