I love me a good Chicken Salad! That is one recipe I think everyone should have on hand as a staple recipe for a go-to sandwich for lunch or dinner.
This is one of my favorite lunch items that I like to whip up quickly because you can use cooked chicken, bagged chicken, or rotisserie chicken which makes it easy.
So a lot of time if I have some cooked chicken on hand it gets turned into this delicious Chicken Salad with Grapes!
Let me tell you, the grapes are a very delicious addition to this salad, if you haven’t tried it with grapes I highly encourage you to do so, it really adds not only flavor but texture.
We like a touch of sweetness to our salad so the grapes give off that little hint, plus it adds some delicious crisp moisture with each and every bite that you take.
This is the way we have always made it and I’m not switching anytime soon because we absolutely love it! So like I said I really encourage you to give it a try!

HOW TO STORE:
Since this salad contains chicken and mayo it needs to be refrigerated. You can place it in an airtight container and it will last in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
I really do not suggest freezing this recipe as it contains mayo and when it defrosts mayo tends to like to separate and will get watery.

- You can serve this on bread, croissants, lettuce, as a dip, and more.
- Easily double this recipe when serving for larger crowds or parties.
- You can use any color of grapes that you like, we usually stick with green.
