Description
A bright, creamy, and crunchy chicken salad featuring shredded chicken, crisp apple, juicy grapes, and toasted pecans in a tangy Dijon-mayo dressing.
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded chicken (pre-cooked)
- 1 cup grapes, halved (red or green)
- 1 apple, diced
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lettuce leaves for serving
Instructions
- Combine the shredded chicken, halved grapes, diced apple, and chopped pecans in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a separate small bowl until smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and stir gently until everything is well coated.

Notes
Chill for at least 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. Use cooled, well-drained chicken to prevent a watery dressing.
