CHICKEN SALAD WITH WALNUTS AND GRAPES



Chicken Salad With Walnuts and Grapes image

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.

Tips:

  • Always start with fresh ingredients: Fresh chicken, crisp apples, juicy grapes, and crunchy walnuts are essential for a flavorful and satisfying chicken salad.
  • 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.

Conclusion:

With its tender chicken, crisp apples, juicy grapes, crunchy walnuts, and creamy dressing, this chicken salad is a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are looking for a light lunch, a refreshing dinner, or a party appetizer, this salad is sure to please.
