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.

Categories     Salad     Chicken     Picnic     Quick & Easy     Lunch     Mayonnaise     Walnut     Healthy     Grape     Gourmet     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free

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:

  • Toss chicken with 2 teaspoons salt.
  • Bring water and broth to a boil in a large saucepan, then add chicken and cook at a bare simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain and cool, then tear into 1-inch chunks.
  • Meanwhile, stir together yogurt, mayonnaise, and mustard.
  • Stir chicken and remaining ingredients into dressing with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your chicken salad. Look for free-range, organic chicken and fresh, crisp vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken is dry and bland. Cook the chicken just until it is cooked through, about 10 minutes per side for boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
  • Let the chicken cool completely before shredding it. This will help to prevent the chicken from becoming dry and stringy.
  • Use a variety of ingredients in your chicken salad. This will add flavor and texture to the salad. Some good options include walnuts, grapes, celery, red onion, and dried cranberries.
  • Season the chicken salad to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of mayonnaise to taste.

Conclusion:

Chicken salad with walnuts and grapes is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for lunch, dinner, or a snack. With its creamy texture, sweet and crunchy walnuts, and juicy grapes, this salad is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this chicken salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
