Description
A protein-rich, tangy chicken salad combining grilled chicken, juicy grapes, crisp celery, and a creamy mayonnaise dressing. Refreshing and light, this American-style salad is perfect for summer meals or potlucks with its vibrant flavor and textural contrast.
Ingredients
2 cups chopped grilled chicken breast
1 cup frozen grapes, halved
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup grapes (fresh), halved
2 tablespoons minced onion
1 teaspoon olive oil
Black pepper to taste
Instructions
Cook chicken breasts on the grill or in a pan until fully cooked (15 minutes total). Let cool, then chop into bite-sized pieces.
Thaw and halve frozen grapes using a paper towel (fresh grapes can be used directly).
Dice celery and mince onion. Set aside.
Combine mayonnaise, minced onion, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix until smooth.
Stir in 1 teaspoon olive oil to enhance creaminess.
Combine all ingredients (chicken, grapes, celery) in a large bowl. Add the dressing and mix gently.
Chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use seedless grapes for texture.
Rotisserie chicken saves time.
Green onions can replace celery for extra crunch.
Baby food mayonnaise lightens the mixture.
Chill for 30 minutes to meld flavors.
Store refrigerated for up to 3 days.
