Fast Layered Chicken Salad image

I prepare this satisfying salad Saturday evening and serve it to my husband and sons on Sunday after a round of gold. It's a winner on warm days - with a unique mix of vegetables like bean sprouts, green onions, water chestnuts and pea pods. And it's lovely in a glass bowl. -Joanne Trentadue, Racine, Wisconsin

I'm allergic to grapes, so I substituted them with diced apples. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own personal touches. I usually add some chopped celery and red onion.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much mayonnaise.

The dressing is a bit too tangy for my taste, but I was able to adjust it by adding a little bit of honey.

I'm not a big fan of chicken salad, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The avocado and grapes add a nice sweetness and crunch.
