Chicken Salad with Grapes Recipe - This chicken salad recipe makes a delicious, quick meal. Made with chicken, grapes, and roasted nuts, it is always a favorite!
Add chopped chicken to a large bowl along with celery, grapes, dried cranberries, chopped pecans, mayonnaise, salt and pepper. If using chopped celery leaves, add these as well.
Stir together until just combined. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Lighten Up!
To lighten up the recipe, you can use Greek yogurt in place of the mayonnaise. I used plain Greek Yogurt for the nutrition calculations.
How Long Does Chicken Salad Last?
Refrigerator - This recipe keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Store in an airtight container. Refrigerate right after serving.Left Out at Room Temperature - For food safety, I like to stick to what the FDA advises... "the two-hour rule,"....which applies since this recipe has chicken and mayonnaise; you should not leave this out at room temperature for any longer than two hours.Left Out at Picnic or Potluck - If you are serving this at a summer event and the temperature is warmer, you should be extra careful to refrigerate it as soon as possible. The FDA food safety rule notes if the outside temperature is above 90 degrees, the "two-hour rule" becomes ONE hour.
