Homemade Chicken Salad is a breeze to throw together with a few simple ingredients. Chicken, celery, sweet grapes, and crunchy almonds are simply tossed in a creamy, tangy mayo dressing and ready to enjoy!
INGREDIENTS
- 4 cups chopped cooked chicken (420g)
- 3 celery stalks chopped (65g)
- 2 green onions sliced (50g)
- 1 cup red grapes halved (200g)
- ⅓ cup sliced almonds (40g)
- ½ cup mayonnaise (120g)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, celery, green onions, red grapes, almonds, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes, but ideally 2 hours, before serving. Taste again after the salad has chilled and season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed. Serve as a sandwich or over a salad.
NOTES
- Once your salad is mixed, be sure to let it rest in the fridge, not at room temperature. Since the salad contains chicken, you want to keep it cold and food-safe while allowing time for the flavors to meld.
