Chicken Salad

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon honey mustard
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon frozen orange juice concentrate (optional)

Toast pecans in a 250ºF oven. Watch carefully to make sure they do not burn. Set aside to let cool.

In a large bowl toss together chicken, celery, apple, cranberries, onions, pecans and parsley. Add the dressing and mix together well.

Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving to allow those wonderful flavors to meld.
