Summer Chicken & Fruit Salad

An easy and refreshing chicken salad for lunch or a light supper on a hot summer's day. A totally "no cook" meal if you use left over chicken breasts. Please note: Oceanspray no longer makes their Cranberry Orange relish. I now use a 1/2 to 1 can of whole cranberry sauce and the grated zest of 1 (medium-large) orange mixed into the yogurt for the dressing. Please adjust the amount of cranberry sauce and orange zest to your taste. Show more
