Chicken Salad with Grapes and Pecans
This Chicken Salad with Grapes and Pecans is a delicious twist on the classic chicken salad recipe, with sweet bursts of grapes, the crunch of pecans, and a creamy, dressing that ties it all together. Whether you're serving it on a sandwich, with crackers, or over a bed of fresh greens, this from-scratch chicken salad is a must-try!
Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast or approximately 1 cup shredded
- 1 rib celery small diced
- ¼ cup onion small diced
- ½ cup may
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- ¼-1/2 teaspoon salt
- pepper to taste
- ½ cup red grapes halved
- ¼ cup pecans toasted & chopped
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- In a medium pot, boil the chicken until fully cooked. Allow to cool completely before shredding or chopping it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked, shredded (or diced) chicken, halved grapes, chopped celery, and diced onion.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper until smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and mix until fully combined.
- Now fold in the toasted pecans.
- Serve immediately or chill for 20-30 minutes first.
