Frist Inspired Chicken Salad

This delicious chicken salad was inspired by the cafe at the Frist Museum. They served an apricot chicken salad similar to this on a croissant. My mother and I ordered it the last time we were there and thought it was so good!

You will need:
2-3 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 cup chopped dried apricots
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
2 diced celery stalks
2 diced green onions
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 cups champagne vinaigrette
1 cup Mayo (optional)

Stir all ingredients together and chill for a couple hours. Serve on a bed of mixed green or on a croissant. I left out the mayo, because my husband doesn't like it, and it was still very good.

I would love to have a picture of the chicken salad on a pretty plate with mixed greens and a croissant, but I made this for a church potluck - and we were running late!
