Description

A delightful chicken salad featuring juicy chicken, crunchy vegetables, and sweet grapes, all enveloped in a creamy sauce with a hint of lemon.


Ingredients

  • 2 large boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 1/2 cups halved seedless red grapes
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds or chopped pecans (optional)
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (or Avocado Oil Mayonnaise for a healthier option)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


Instructions

  1. Place the diced chicken, celery, green onions, and grapes in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, mustard, parsley, dill weed, onion powder, garlic powder, sugar, salt, and pepper to create the sauce.
  3. Pour the sauce over the chicken mixture and stir until everything is thoroughly coated.
  4. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

For even better flavor, chill the salad overnight. Consider serving in lettuce leaves or croissants for a fresh presentation.
