Chicken Salad with Grapes
A light and refreshing chicken salad featuring grapes, celery, and mayonnaise, perfect for busy families and gatherings.
Ingredients
For the salad
- 2 cans canned chicken (12.5 oz each) (Opt for chunk white chicken for better texture. Can substitute with leftover rotisserie chicken.)
- 1.5 cups grapes, halved (Red grapes are sweet; mixing with green grapes adds tartness.)
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise (Choose your favorite brand or use Greek yogurt for a healthier version.)
- 1 cup celery, chopped (Fresh celery for crunch; consider adding bell peppers for color.)
- to taste salt and pepper (Adjust according to preference.)
For serving
- crackers, croissants, or lettuce cups (Choose based on your family's preference.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Drain the canned chicken and place it in a large mixing bowl, squeezing out excess moisture for the best texture.
- Add chopped grapes, diced celery, and mayonnaise to the bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mix all the ingredients until well combined. Use a spatula for an even mix.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Serving
- Serve the chicken salad family-style with options such as crackers, croissants, or in lettuce cups.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Avoid adding crackers until ready to serve to prevent sogginess.
