This post was created in partnership with Primal Kitchen. Cranberry Chicken Salad with Apples and Pecans is a mix of sweet and savory and oh, so satisfying. Chicken salads are one of our favorite lunch type recipes!

Ingredients needed to make Creamy Cornbread Casserole: Whole-kernel corn: Any canned whole-kernel corn will do. If you want this to be a budget-friendly side, you can go with the generic brands.

After 10 minutes, use a spatula or tongs to check and see if they need more time....

Day two, and we’re eating pasta. What got me about this one is how creamy the sauce looked and tasted, with absolutely NO CREAM. That’s what I’m talking about. We added some fennel, which combined with basil and oregano and tomatoes, smelled, as Taylor put it, like a pizza parlor. Unfortunately, we went a bit overboard on the fennel, as it was quite overpowering in the final dish. A good flavor, but in moderation for sure....

I almost end up with the most complex set of colour coordinated zigzagging links across the page as I get more and more outrageous with my combo....

We’ve made niçoise salads before, like this one, that just have a simple lemon Dijon vinaigrette. And those are still plenty delicious, but the dressing on this one really takes it over the top. While the recipe originally called for a grilled fillet of salmon, we went the canned route....
