Gourmet Chicken Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 1/2 cups cooked chicken, diced and chilled
    1 cup chopped celery
    1 cup seedless grapes, cut in half
    1/4 cup dried cranberries
    1/4 cup pecan halves, chopped or 1/4 cup slivered almonds
    2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 cup mayonnaise
    1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
Preparation
    In a medium bowl, whip cream to soft peaks.
    Combine meat, celery, grapes, dried fruit and nuts (or Salad Pizazz), parsley, salt and mayonnaise with whipped cream. Chill.
    Note: Instead of using the dried fruit and the nuts, I always use Salad Pizazz which is a gourmet salad topping that can be found in grocery stores and comes in a variety of flavors. For this salad I like to use the Cherry Cranberry Pecano, the Orange Cranberry Almondine or the Raspberry Cranberry Walnut Frisco.
