We made it the first time as given, which was excellent. The second time we omitted the mustard and used more cranberries and it was so good. -
OMG, so amazing! We baked a bone-in chicken breast <http://www.food.com/recipe/baked-chicken-111514> for this and the combination was SO flavorful. We were inspired by the Blue Willow in Tucson's Chicken salad stuffed avocado, and I think that this recipe rivals or beats the restaurant's :). Oh, we used home made honey Dijon as well.

I just made this as my father, who is in his eighties, loves cranberry walnut chicken salad and Costco isn't carrying the type he eats in the winter. I will let it sit overnight as one reviewer suggests; however, at first taste I can't say I'm a fan of the undertaste of the garlic powder. I'm thinking I'll try making it without it next time and see how that goes. -
Just made this and it was delicious. I used canned chicken instead of cooking chicken, still good.
