CHICKEN SALAD WITH WALNUTS AND GRAPES



Chicken Salad With Walnuts and Grapes image

A pile of this chicken salad plopped on top of a bed of greens or tucked between two slices of good bread would make a most excellent lunch or light supper. It starts with a quick dressing made of mayonnaise, chopped chives, parsley and tarragon and the juice and zest of a lemon. Combine the dressing with chopped, cooked chicken (for ease, use supermarket rotisserie chicken or Thanksgiving turkey leftovers), red grapes, red onion, celery and walnuts. It's a delightful and deeply satisfying combination of flavors (sweet, salty, tangy) and textures (cold, crunchy, juicy) that's almost impossible to stop eating.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders
5 cups water
1 3/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup plain yogurt
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cup seedless grapes, halved crosswise
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (3 ounces)
3 tablespoons drained capers, chopped

Steps:

  • Meanwhile, stir together yogurt, mayonnaise, and mustard.
  • Stir chicken and remaining ingredients into dressing with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe grapes. Avoid grapes that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Choose walnuts that are fresh and have a mild flavor. Avoid walnuts that are old or have a rancid taste.
  • If you don't have any celery on hand, you can substitute finely chopped red onion or cucumber.
  • For a creamy chicken salad, use mayonnaise. For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt or a combination of mayonnaise and Greek yogurt.
  • Season the chicken salad to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as dried thyme, rosemary, or oregano.
  • Serve the chicken salad immediately or chill it for later. Chicken salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
