My mother used to prepare this salad for an evening meal during the hot summer months. It also serves well as a delicious but quick luncheon or potluck dish. You can't beat the tasty combination of chicken, grapes and almonds. -Kathy Kittell, Lenexa, Kansas

Tip

New Use for Ice Cream Cones

Have picky eaters at your house? Try serving chicken, egg or tuna salad in an ice cream cone instead of between bread. Kids love this crunchy lunch that resembles dessert. —Suzanne M., Lyons, Georgia

Light-Bodied White Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a light-bodied white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

Very good. I could do without the green grapes, and I think next time I'll use purple onion or purple grapes to make it a little more colorful. glad to have the recipe!

We LOVE this recipe and everyone I have served it to raves about it. However, we do not like celery so we leave it out. To replace the "crunch" factor and to add a bit of flavor I add some granny smith apples chopped. It is delicious!

Really loved this recipe-I added 2 small chopped green apples.

I made this recipe for our quilting group, such raves, now I have been asked to make this for a ladies/daughters tea. 120 ladies. I served it on croissiants.

To answer previous question- I served mine in lettuce leaves. Like a chicken wrap. We are trying to stay low carb due to my son being diabetic but you could serve it on croissant bread if you don't care about carbs.

Question, do you serve this as a sandwich or just a salad or with crackers or something? Sounds good I just need to know how it is served. Thanks

At first I wasn't sure that the flavors would work well together. But after trying it, I was wrong. This salad has something for all your taste buds. The combination of flavors and textures is excellent. Sometimes I add chopped apple for even more flavor.
