I love Chicken Salad but hate celery. Anytime I go to a restaurant all the chicken salad sandwiches have celery in it. That’s why I have been making my own recipe for several years now. It is so light and refreshing. I like to serve my chicken salad on a piece of Romaine lettuce to save on the extra carbs.
This recipe is so easy to make. It really takes no time at all. I make this on a Sunday evening and then I have lunch for the next few days. My husband won’t eat any kind of chicken salad, so that leaves more for me to enjoy.

I love this salad and I would not even care if someone put celery in it. Now cilantro, not so much.

Love chicken salad, but my hubby doesn’t like it when there’s grapes in it – he’s missing out. Pinned for myself. Visiting from live laugh linky party. Following you on some of your social media sites.
Thanks for stopping by and pinning, Erlene! Yes, your husband is missing out…haha. I love the sweetness from the grapes. Enjoy the chicken salad recipe.
I just love this chicken salad! So good! I don’t know what it is about all the fruit in it, but it is the perfect touch!
I agree! Just the right amount of sweetness from the fruit. Thanks for stopping by, Meredith!
