  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds or chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lettuce leaves or croissants (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

  3. Combine Ingredients:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, halved grapes, diced celery, red onion, and sliced almonds or walnuts (if using).
  4. Add the Dressing:
    • Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture. Toss everything together until well coated.
  5. Chill:
    • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  6. Serve:
    • Serve the chicken salad on a bed of lettuce, in a sandwich, or with croissants.

This chicken salad is perfect for a light lunch or as a filling for sandwiches. The combination of the sweet grapes, crunchy celery, and creamy dressing makes it a delicious and refreshing dish. Enjoy!
