Chicken Salad with Grapes
A creamy chicken salad with grapes and walnuts, made with tender chicken, crisp veggies, and fresh dill. Easy, quick, and great for sandwiches or meal prep.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 cups shredded chicken (cooked)
- 2 cups red seedless grapes (halved)
- 4 celery sticks (chopped)
- 1 Small red onion (chopped)
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 lemon juiced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill finely chopped
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: lettuce leaves and croissants for sandwiches
Instructions
- Place the chicken, grapes, celery, red onion, and walnuts in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Spoon the dressing over the chicken mixture and fold gently until everything is coated evenly.
- Chill in the refrigerator until serving time. Enjoy it over lettuce or pile it into croissants, bagels, or your favorite sandwich bread.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken works well and saves time. If using freshly cooked chicken, let it cool fully before mixing.
- Green grapes can be used if that’s what you have on hand—stick with seedless varieties for easy eating.
- Pecans or sliced almonds make great substitutes for the walnuts.
- The salad keeps well for up to three days in the fridge. Add the nuts right before serving if you want extra crunch.
- Spoon it into lettuce cups for a lighter meal or pack it into croissants for a picnic-friendly option.
