Summer Chicken Salad

Sweet, savory, crunchy and refreshing

My mom's super simple chicken salad recipe is sure to entice and keep you refreshed as the hot, muggy days of summer creep upon us.  This little dandy of a concoction is a good use of leftover chicken and will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days after you mix it.   Sweet red grapes, crunchy walnuts, refreshing celery and the tummy-filling quality of chicken will leave you satisfied after an afternoon at the pool or beach. Yum!

3/4 C. Red grapes
1/4 C. Walnuts
3/4 C. Mayo or dressing
1/2 t. Salt
1/4 t. Pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Chop roasted chicken (or shredded chicken) into bite-size pieces.  Toss into bowl.
