Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded or diced chicken
- 1 cup red or green seedless grapes, halved
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the cooked chicken in a medium bowl.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. This is your honey mustard dressing.
- Pour the dressing over the chicken. Mix gently until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Fold in the halved grapes and the chopped celery. If using nuts, add them now.
- Season the salad with salt and pepper to your preference.
- Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
Notes
- For a tangier flavor, increase the Dijon mustard by one teaspoon.
- If you prefer a sweeter salad, add an extra half teaspoon of honey.
- You can substitute plain Greek yogurt for half of the mayonnaise for a lower fat option.
- This salad keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
