Honey Grape Chicken Salad

Looking for something refreshing for dinner on a hot, humid day? Looking for a different spin on chicken, particularly when it’s on sale at the supermarket? What if you’re looking for both? This version of chicken salad hits the spot in so many ways: the juicy pop of the grapes, the hint of sweetness from the honey, the crunch of slivered almonds.

Accompany this with some great bread, and you’ve got a tasty, light dinner that’s perfect for even the hottest days. If you want, you can serve Honey Grape Chicken Salad atop lettuce, or by itself.

Serves 4

3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 ½ cups seedless grapes*
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon honey*
½ cup slivered almonds

Combine the shredded chicken and grapes in a bowl.

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and honey to form the sauce. Add the sauce to the chicken mixture. Chill for ½ an hour. (You can also make this a day ahead.)

Right before you serve, stir in the slivered almonds.

*If you have young children, check with your pediatrician before serving grapes (which can be a choking hazard) or honey (which young stomachs may not be able to digest properly).
