Preheat oven to Bake the walnuts for 5-8 minutes until they are toasty and starting to brown on the edges.

Step 2

While the walnuts toast, make the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise with the lemon juice. Then add the salt, pepper, and onion powder and mix to combine. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, celery, apple, cranberries, and toasted walnuts. Pour the dressing over the top and toss until everything is evenly coated in the dressing.

Step 4

The Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad can be eaten immediately or chilled for 30 minutes to an hour to let the flavor develop. Serve on toast or with crackers.
