Description

Classic chicken salad makes a perfect quick lunch or no-cook dinner! Start with 3/4 cup mayo and add more to suit your tastes. I forgo the celery in favor of chopped green apple, but if you can't have chicken salad without the celery, finely dice 1 small stalk and add it in!


Ingredients

  • 2 cups leftover roasted chicken, cubed
  • 1 cup green apples, chopped
  • 1 cup grapes, halved
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped

  1. Combine the chicken, apples, grapes, green onions, cilantro, parsley, slivered almonds, red onion, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
