I adore chicken salad, especially chicken salad with grapes and nuts in it!
When I found this version, I knew I had found the perfect recipe!
This was a lovely lunch for me and a delicious "snack" for Nate (before eating deer sausage with BBQ sauce!) :-)
Makes about 6 cups
1 lb. cooked chicken breasts, cut into ½″ cubes
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup thinly sliced celery
1 cup halved purple grapes
½ cup sliced almonds, toasted
1 tbsp. finely chopped parsley
1 tsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ cup whipped cream (I used Cool Whip)
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Combine chicken, mayonnaise, celery, grapes, almonds, parsley, and salt in a bowl. Add whipped cream and pepper; fold to combine.
This looks really good, and healthy! I think I'll be making this for lunch this week. I've been eating so much junk (is it terrible that I made a batch of chocolate chip cookies only two days ago and they're already almost gone...because of me?)!

This looks awesome, can't wait to try! If you want to make even healthier- substitute half or all of the mayonnaise for plain non-fat Greek yogurt.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE chicken salad sandwiches! And, I love it with apples. I am going to make this, plus add some diced apples. yum!
