Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
- 1/2 cup celery, chopped
- 1/2 cup grapes, halved (because who doesn't love a little sweetness?)
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (more if you're feeling adventurous)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (for that zing)
- Salt and pepper to taste (because bland is not an option)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (if you’re feeling fancy)
- Lettuce leaves for serving (because you need a bed for this masterpiece)
Instructions
- First things first, make sure your chicken is cooked. You can poach it, roast it, or just bribe your neighbor into giving you some pre-cooked goodness. Shred it into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, chopped celery, halved grapes, and chopped red onion. It’s like a party in a bowl!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and dill if you’re using it. This is your secret sauce!
- Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and stir until everything is well coated. You want it to feel cozy and comfortable, like a warm hug.
- Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes if you can wait that long. If you can’t, that’s okay too; just be careful not to eat it all before serving!
- Serve it on a bed of lettuce leaves or in a sandwich. Top it off with some extra grapes if you’re feeling fruity!
- Enjoy your delicious creation and bask in the glory of being a chicken salad maestro!
And there you have it! A classic chicken salad that’s not only delicious but also easy to make. So, the next time you find yourself in need of a quick meal or a potluck dish, you know just what to do. Now go forth and share your chicken salad love with the world!
