Fruity Chicken Salad
Tired of the same old lunch? Try this Chicken Salad with Grapes recipe jazzed up with dried cherries, grapes, and pecans. It’s absolutely irresistible!

Fruity Chicken Salad
I hate to brag, but this is one fabulous chicken salad recipe. There’s nothing complicated about it. The prep entails a bit of chopping and stirring, but it’s the proportions that are key.
I always prefer a smidgen of sour cream to cut the mayo in these sorts of salads. And a little acidity from the lemon juice helps balance the flavors. The add-ins are up to you. Leave out the nuts if that’s not your thing. I’d have to remove the pecans and cherries if serving this to my family, but this batch of chicken salad with grapes was for me!
The Best Chicken Salad!
If you’re low-carbing it, this can be eaten as a salad over lettuce. Or, if you’re like me, pile the chicken salad between two slices of whole wheat bread or on a roll or croissant. As a hearty lunch or light dinner, this chicken salad with grapes is a delightful option to meat and potatoes. I hope you enjoy! It’s truly the best chicken salad.

You just can’t beat the fresh crunch of the grapes paired with the creamy spread and the sweetness of the dried cherries. SO good!
I absolutely loved this with the cherries added! Great idea!!
This chicken salad is my favorite for lunch! The flavors are spot on and the best I’ve ever tasted in a chicken salad recipe!
This looks SOOO good Liz! It reminds me a bit of a Waldorf Salad but with the addition of chicken – yum. Need to make extra chicken next dinner so there are leftovers for this salad!
It definitely not the same old boring chicken salad sandwich when you add fruit to it. This looks delicious, Liz!
