Holiday Chicken Salad

This is the chicken salad from our beach trip to Stanley Lake. My only real modifications from the original allrecipes version were adding dried blueberries and using a red bell pepper instead of green. Enjoy!

4 cups cubed chicken breast
1 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon paprika
1.5 cups dried cranberries
1 cup chopped celery
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 cup minced bell pepper
1 cup chopped pecans
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
pepper to taste

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, paprika, seasoning salt, and pepper. Mix remaining ingredients, then fold in the mayonnaise mixture. Chill for an hour before serving. Ellie thinks this is best eaten with wheat thins on a blanket as part of a "picnic."
