Chicken Salad with Grapes and Almonds
Chicken Salad with Grapes and Almonds is one of my favorite summer time salads! You can eat it as a sandwich or even as a dip for crackers. It has the perfect balance of sweetness and crunch. It is light and refreshing and perfect for lunch of dinner! This chicken salad is also perfect to take to cookouts/parties. Any time I have taken it to a party, people rave about it and ask for the recipe! My aunt owns a restaurant and this is one of their best-selling items! It was also my grandma’s favorite sandwich and I will always remember her enjoying it on toasted sourdough bread with chips and a Pepsi!

What you will need to make it:
- Cooked Chicken – I love using rotisserie chicken, but you can easily make it at home by boiling it in some salted water, or even baking some in the oven.
- Diced Celery – just enough to give it some flavor and crunch
- Sliced Almonds – you can find these prepackaged in any grocery store. These offer a bit of saltiness and even more crunch. I load mine up with these!
- Mayonnaise – the base for pretty much any chicken salad
- Red Seedless Grapes – for the perfect amount of sweetness!
- Celery Salt – just a small amount, but it really makes a difference!
- Black Pepper – again, just a small amount and this could even be omitted
Optional Add-In’s:
- Dijon Mustard
- Diced Red Onion
- Sweet or Dill Pickle Relish
- Dried Cranberries
- Pecans
How To Make it:
To make this amazing Chicken Salad, you will add your cooked chicken to a mixing bowl. Exact measurements will be on the recipe card below.
You will then add in everything except the grapes and give it a good mix.
And the last step is to fold in the quartered grapes. And that is all there is to it! Enjoy right away as a sandwich or wrap, with crackers and fruit, or just eat it straight out of a bowl like I do!
This can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
Just look at how beautiful and appetizing this looks! I promise you will love this chicken salad!
