Description
Try this fresh grape salad from Chicken Salad Chick—juicy grapes, tender chicken, and a zesty dressing that will wow your taste buds!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast (about 8 oz)
- 4 cups mixed salad greens (romaine, spinach, arugula)
- 1 cup seedless grapes, halved (red or green)
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
- Toast the almonds: Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and toast, shaking the pan frequently, until golden and fragrant—about 3 minutes. Remove and let cool.
- Assemble the salad: In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, shredded chicken, grape halves, toasted almonds, and feta (if using).
- Dress and toss: Drizzle the prepared dressing over the salad. Toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
- Serve immediately: The salad is best enjoyed fresh, but you can portion it into containers for a quick lunch later.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked chicken to save time—rotisserie chicken works great.
- For extra crunch, add a handful of sliced cucumbers or bell peppers.
- Adjust the sweetness of the dressing by adding more honey if you prefer a sweeter bite.
- Keep the grapes chilled before adding to the salad to maintain their crispness.
