Yield 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb cooked chicken breast, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup celery, thinly sliced
1 cup purple grapes, halved
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1 tablespoon parsley, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 cup whipped cream
fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Combine chicken, mayonnaise, celery, grapes, almonds, parsley, and salt in a bowl. Add whipped cream and pepper; fold to combine.
  • Serve on lettuce leaves, in a hollowed out tomato or as the filling for a sandwich.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality tuna. Look for tuna that is canned in water or olive oil, and avoid tuna that is packed in brine.
  • If you don't have any pecans on hand, you can substitute another type of nut, such as walnuts or almonds.
  • If you want a creamier salad, you can add a dollop of mayonnaise or sour cream. You can also use a flavored mayonnaise, such as lemon-herb or dill mayonnaise, to add extra flavor.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to serve, just give the salad a good stir.
  • Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce or greens, or on top of crackers or bread.
