Ingredients:
4 boneless chicken breasts, cooked and then chopped or shredded.

Half a cup of granulated sugar.
1/4 cup vinegar.
One tsp prepared mustard.
One tsp salt (adjust to your taste).

Instructions:
Step 1
To start, in a spacious mixing bowl, mix together the cooked chicken, finely minced onion, and finely chopped celery, then season with the desired amount of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 2
After that, in a distinct bowl, vigorously whisk together all the dressing components until you achieve a smooth and thoroughly blended mixture.
Step 3
In this step, drizzle the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently toss until it’s evenly coated.
Step 4
Next, to add a pop of color and a touch of sweetness, gently incorporate the dried cranberries into the mixture just before serving. This step will maintain the salad’s vibrant appearance.
