This was so good!! The first time I saw chicken salad with grapes in it, I thought EWWW GROSS. But I tried it anyway and it was delicious. I love this recipe because you've got the creaminess of the mayo yet the crunchiness of the pecans and celery. The grapes provide a perfect amount of sweetness. It's lovely with a nice buttery croissant.

This is a wonderful chicken salad! I used walnuts instead of pecans, and shredded carrot because I was out of celery. I also added some chopped Maui onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. I didn't think it needed any salt, just a little fresh ground pepper. Delicious!

This is my new Chicken Salad recipe! I really like the way the Honey Mustard dressing played off both the savory and sweet ingredients. I poached my chicken in grill seasoning which made it moist and infused the chicken with a lot of flavor. I added some Vidalia onion — about a quarter of a large, and a handful each of dried golden raisins and dried cherries to the mix. I also tweaked the dressing a bit. I used about a quarter cup of Mexican crema (a lot like creme fraiche) for tang, and 3 tablespoons of sweet marmalade for another level of sweetness. Delish! Thanks for a great recipe. It works perfectly for these "no cook" summer afternoons and evenings.

This salad is great! We used grilled chicken breasts and served it to 50 people, all of which want the recipe! So you should have more ratings soon! Thanks for sharing!
