Sometimes you need to find a quick, no-cook crowd-pleaser for lunch. But if you’re bored with your usual go-tos, you might want to try this Tangy Chicken Salad with Grapes recipe from Cooking Light.
This recipe may remind you of a traditional Waldorf salad, which generally features fruits like apples and grapes as well as walnuts. The recipe includes a canola mayonnaise, full-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dijon and pepper sauce that you mix in with grapes, chopped chicken, scallions and celery.
This recipe is easy to put together using rotisserie chicken, as the creator suggests. You can serve it on top of lettuce as a salad. Or, if you’re not limiting carbs, put it in a croissant and make a chicken salad sandwich.
“Sweet red grapes and crunchy celery make this chicken salad sing, and also balance out the slight tang from the yogurt and lemon,” writes Cooking Light. The recipe post also suggests adding other mix-ins to taste such as dried fruit or nuts.
