Notes

  • Use a crisp, tart apple like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a refreshing crunch that balances the sweetness of the grapes and richness of the dressing.
  • Leftover or rotisserie chicken works great for convenience, and you can substitute with turkey for a different twist.
  • If you’re avoiding walnuts, pecans or slivered almonds can be used for a similar crunch and nutty flavor.
  • For a healthier option, stick with just Greek yogurt and skip the mayonnaise, or use a low-fat version for added creaminess.
  • Serve the salad over greens for a lighter meal, or use it as a sandwich filling for a more hearty lunch option.
