CHICKEN SALAD WITH WALNUTS AND GRAPES
A pile of this chicken salad plopped on top of a bed of greens or tucked between two slices of good bread would make a most excellent lunch or light supper. It starts with a quick dressing made of mayonnaise, chopped chives, parsley and tarragon and the juice and zest of a lemon. Combine the dressing with chopped, cooked chicken (for ease, use supermarket rotisserie chicken or Thanksgiving turkey leftovers), red grapes, red onion, celery and walnuts. It's a delightful and deeply satisfying combination of flavors (sweet, salty, tangy) and textures (cold, crunchy, juicy) that's almost impossible to stop eating.

CHICKEN SALAD WITH APPLES & WALNUTS
A little spin on the classic chicken salad. I found this recipe in a Schwan's Home Service Catalog. The only real reason it caught my attention is because they served it in Oranges and it looked good - otherwise I probably would not have even taken a second look. I am glad I did ... this is yummy!

- Choose the right type of chicken: For tender and succulent chicken salad, use cooked chicken breast or rotisserie chicken. Avoid using dry or overcooked chicken.
- Make sure your chicken is properly cooked: If using raw chicken, make sure it is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before adding it to the salad.
- Use a variety of apples and grapes: For a more complex flavor, use a combination of sweet and tart apples and grapes. Some popular choices include Granny Smith apples, Honeycrisp apples, red grapes, and green grapes.
- Don't skimp on the walnuts: Walnuts add a delightful crunch and nutty flavor to the salad. Use chopped walnuts for a more even distribution of flavor throughout the salad.
- Season the salad to your taste: Use a combination of mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to create a well-balanced dressing. You can also add a touch of sweetness with honey or maple syrup.
- Chill the salad before serving: This allows the flavors to meld and the salad to become more refreshing.
