👩🍳 Instructions:
Prep the ingredients:
Toast the pecans in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
Chop the cherries, celery, and grapes.
Mix the salad:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, cherries, celery, grapes, and toasted pecans. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the dressing:
Stir in ¼ cup of Olive Oil Miracle Whip or mayonnaise. Add a little more if you prefer a creamier consistency.
Assemble the sandwiches:
Spoon about ½ cup of the chicken salad onto the bottom half of each croissant. Top with the other half.
Serve and enjoy:
Serve immediately or refrigerate the filling for later. It tastes even better once the flavors have had time to blend!
🍴 Tips & Variations:
Make it ahead: The chicken salad can be made up to 24 hours in advance—just assemble on croissants right before serving.
Add-ins: Try adding a dash of Dijon mustard or a handful of chopped fresh herbs (like parsley or tarragon) for extra flavor.
Healthier swap: Substitute plain Greek yogurt for half the mayo for a lighter option.
