Ingredients for Chicken Salad:

The combination of flavors and textures in this chicken salad is simply perfect. The sweetness of the grapes and the crunch of the celery make it irresistible.

· Cooked cubed chicken: Rotisserie chicken from the store works perfectly and saves time.

· Grapes: Adds a delightful sweetness and texture.

· Celery: Provides the perfect crunchy contrast.

· Pineapple juice: The secret ingredient that makes this salad stand out.

· Mayonnaise: Dukes Mayo is my go-to for this recipe.

· Salt and pepper: To taste.

Serving Suggestions:

My favorite way to enjoy this chicken salad is on a soft, buttery croissant. It’s also delicious on any bread or bun for a fantastic sandwich. For a low-carb option, try serving it in endive or Bibb lettuce. It’s equally enjoyable straight from the bowl or over a bed of salad greens.
