1/4 cup slivered almonds toasted

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar flavored (see note)

Cook pasta according to package directions. Place pasta in large bowl; set aside.
Add chicken, carrot, onion, cranberries and almonds to pasta.
For dressing, whisk together oil, vinegar, mustard and honey. Add salt and pepper, as desired. Pour dressing over pasta mixture; toss to coat well. Serve immediately or chilled.

Note: To make flavored vinegar place fresh herbs and garlic (such as two sprigs of rosemary and two cloves of garlic) in balsamic vinegar and allow to stand overnight. Or look for flavored vinegar in the vinegar section of the supermarket.
