This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great make-ahead meal. I usually make it the night before and let it chill in the fridge overnight.

I'm not a fan of cashews, so I substituted them with chopped almonds. The salad was still delicious and the almonds added a nice crunch.

This salad is a great make-ahead meal. I usually make it the night before and let it chill in the fridge overnight. The flavors meld together really well and it's even better the next day.

This cashew chicken salad was a hit at my last potluck! Everyone loved the warm, comforting flavors and the crunch of the cashews. I'll definitely be making this again.
