Notes

Use cooked chicken leftover from a rotisserie bird or poached chicken breast for best texture.
For added crunch, feel free to include diced apples or water chestnuts.
Red grapes provide a natural sweetness; seedless grapes work best.
To toast almonds, lightly heat in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and golden.
This salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Substitute mayonnaise with avocado for a healthier twist if desired.
