Chicken-Cranberry Salad

Ingredients (first set):
2 C. cooked chicken, diced
1-2 celery ribs, finely chopped
½ C. dried cranberries (Craisins)
¼ C. chopped walnuts
½-3/4 C. Mayonnaise
3 T. honey
Freshly ground salt & pepper, to taste (about 6-8 grinds each)

Ingredients (second set):
Additional walnuts for garnish, optional
40 +/- Rectangle-shaped crackers (ie: Club, Ritz Top-Ems)
40+/- Baby Spinach leaves

Directions:
*Mix first set of ingredients all together & chill until ready to assemble & serve.
*Place one spinach leaf on one cracker.
*Top with a spoonful of the salad mixture (I use the small spoon out of a 5-pc. place-setting)
*Garnish with a piece of walnut.
*Serve immediately – the longer they sit, the greater chance of the crackers getting soggy.

*Personal Notes:  I love serving these at baby showers...they are cute and yummy and if you buy a rotissere chicken they are REALLY easy!!!!
-Easily doubles
-Any leftover salad can be kept in refrigerator – if any are left after assembly, simply scrape off the salad portion, then discard the leaf and cracker
