Description

Classic Chicken Salad – This chicken salad with grapes is my favorite chicken salad recipe EVER! It comes together in no time and tastes amazing. (Paleo, Gluten-Free, Whole30-Friendly!) 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. cooked chicken breast, cubed or shredded (about 3–3 1/2 cups)
  • 1 cup grapes, halved or quartered
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • 1/2 cup toasted almonds*
  • 1 green onion, sliced
  • 1/3–1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2–3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
  • 1/4–1/2 tsp. pepper
  • 1/4–1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1–2 Tbsp. fresh herbs (optional), such as chives, parsley, dill, or tarragon

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine chicken, grapes, celery, almonds, green onion, 1/3 cup mayo, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and 1/4 tsp. salt.
  2. Use a spatula or fork to stir the mixture until it’s well combined. Taste and add additional mayo, lemon juice, salt, or pepper, as desired.
  3. Garnish with fresh herbs, if using.

Notes

*OTHER NUTS TO TRY: cashews, macadamia nuts, walnuts, or pecans. I suggest toasted or roasted/salted nuts for the best flavor.
