Napa Almond Chicken Salad This salad is full of crunchy almonds, tender chicken, and a mix of greens that’ll have you reaching for seconds. Let’s make sure we have everything we need before we start!

Ingredients:

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1/2 cup grapes, halved (red or green work great)
1/4 cup celery, chopped
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Mixed greens (for serving)

Instructions:

Start by shredding your cooked chicken. You can use rotisserie chicken for an easy shortcut or cook your own – either way works deliciously!
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, toasted almonds, halved grapes, chopped celery, and red onion. Mix it well!
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Make sure it’s nice and creamy—give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Pour the creamy dressing over the chicken salad mixture and stir everything together until it’s all coated evenly.
Let the salad chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes, so all those flavors can mingle and get to know each other.
When you’re ready to serve, grab some mixed greens, plate it up, and scoop that salad right on top. Garnish with a few extra almonds if you like it crunchy! Enjoy!
