- To serve, top with the grape salad, then the watercress and finally the almonds. Drizzle with the vinaigrette.
SUMMER CASHEW CHICKEN GRAPE PASTA SALAD
On many hot summer days, I can't face eating a hot meal. This salad makes a very satisfying meal without overheating the house or me! If I can't stomach the thought of cooking chicken myself for fear of heating up the house on a hot summer day, I just pick up a rotisserie chicken from my local grocer or I pick up grilled cooked chicken from Costco. With pre-cooked chicken, this recipe couldn't be easier to prepare! I've served this many times to rave reviews. I got this recipe from my mother-in-law. It's a dish she picks up from her local deli on a regular basis. If you make it at home, it's much cheaper than the deli!

Steps:
- Boil 1 lb. of pasta - al dente - according to package directions (I use rigatoni). Drain after cooking and let cool.
- While the pasta is boiling, wash and halve the grapes.
- Dice the cooked chicken into bite sized pieces.
- In a large bowl or serving platter, combine the cooled, drained pasta with the grapes and diced chicken. Stir in the mayonnaise. I start with one cup of mayo and add more as needed. Really, just add as much as you personally like - it may be more or less than 2 cups.
- Stir in the Lawry's seasoning salt, onion powder and garlic powder. Again, add to your liking. You may want more or less than 1/2 teaspoon of any of these - - it's your choice, go with what you like. Frequent sampling at this point will help you decide what your preference will be so grab a fork and start sampling!
- If the salad is too thick and rich for your liking, stir in a couple tablespoons milk to thin it out. This part is optional.
- This salad is always much better the next day after the flavors have had a chance to meld. This is when I usually add milk to loosen it up a bit.
- Before serving, plate or dish up the salad and sprinkle cashew pieces on top of individual servings. DO NOT put the cashew pieces on the entire salad and refrigerate - - this will cause the cashew pieces to become soft and rubbery and nobody wants that! I just set the can of cashews on the table and let guests help themselves.
- Sit back and enjoy your sweat free cold summer salad!
CHICKEN, GRAPE, AND RICE SALAD
My neighbor made this for a picnic forever ago, and it is super easy to make. Easy to change it your own liking. Sometimes the onions can be too strong, so you may want to test before adding too many.

CHICKEN, PASTA AND GRAPE SALAD
A recipe I found in a Pillsbury cookbook. Very nice for a small gathering or for making a big batch for a luncheon. I am always asked for the recipe. I have never added the snow pea pods, can't find them in my grocery store, but I am sure they would be great. Serve on a bed of lettuce for a pretty presentation.

Grapes, chicken,macadamia nuts and celery with a hint of ginger. Delish! Another family favorite from my Junior League of Phoenix Recipe book.

ROAST CHICKEN, PASTA, AND GRAPE SALAD
This recipe is a family favorite. It is based on one from my grandparents and was introduced to me by my dad, who really enjoyed it growing up. Originally a tradition to use the leftover turkey from Thanksgiving, I've always had it with chicken and can't get enough. This is one recipe that can be easily adjusted, so don't worry if you don't have the exact amounts called for!

Steps:
- 1. Blend mayo, sugar, rice wine, and spices in small bowl with whisk. NOTE: It is very important to use the right rice wine. You need sweet rice wine, not vinegar!
- 2. Cook, cool and dice chicken. Cook pasta per package directions, drain and run under cool water, drain again. In separate bowl combine diced chicken, pasta, grapes and celery. Add dressing and mix gently. Chill 2 hours. (I cook my chicken breasts in broth to boost the flavor.)
- 3. Note: If you make this and let it sit for a few hours, (or over night) it tends to soak up all the dressing. I usually double the dressing and add as needed.
- 4. Note II: If I intend this to be a main dish meal in the summer time I will add more chicken. Served with crusty bread it is a perfect, ready "when you are" meal.
Tips:
- Use a variety of grapes for a more complex flavor. For example, a combination of red, green, and black grapes would be a great choice.
- If you don't have any walnuts, you can substitute another type of nut, such as pecans, almonds, or pistachios.
- To make the chicken salad more creamy, add a tablespoon or two of mayonnaise. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
- If you're serving the chicken salad as a sandwich, use a sturdy bread, such as a baguette or sourdough. You can also serve it on crackers or lettuce leaves.
- Garnish the chicken salad with fresh herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, or chives.
Conclusion:
Grape chicken salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a light and tasty meal, give grape chicken salad a try!
