Chicken Salad with grapes

Category: Main Dish

4 cups diced cooked chicken (about 2 pounds)
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
1 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped
2 to 3 celery ribs, cut into small pieces
2 to 3 tablespoons finely-chopped onion
3 cups halved seedless red grapes
1/2 to 3/4 cup real mayonnaise
1/2 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
salt and freshly ground black pepper


In a large bowl, place the diced chicken. Add the lemon juice and lemon zest and toss to combine.

Add the pecans, celery, onion, grapes, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper; toss together all the ingredients until combined.

Cover and place prepared chicken salad in the refrigerator for about 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to blend properly.

To serve, either serve as a salad or as a mixture for a sandwich. Makes enough to do both ways.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
