Autumn Chicken Salad

I just made and ate this delicious salad. I did not chill it in the fridge, as all the ingredients were already chilled, plus I subbed chopped, cooked turkey for the chicken. I also cut the recipe down to make a serving for 1 or 2 people, and may I say.... this sure was quite delish. I did however, omit the pecans, nor did I serve this on a lettuce leaf. To make a serving for 1 to 2 people, this is the amount of ingredients I used.... 1 cup chopped cooked turkey, 1/3 cup cut-up seedless green grapes, 1/4 cup thinly sliced celery, 1/3 of a large McIntosh apple, chopped, 1/3 cup of Kraft Mayonnaise, 1/2 tablespoon of French's Honey Mustard, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/16 teaspoon of black pepper. This salad is a great way to use up the leftover cooked turkey after Thanksgiving. Thanx for the recipe!

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 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!
