Ingredients

5 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 1/2 cups halved grapes
1 cup chopped celery 2 stalks
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup finely chopped chives or green onion
1/2 cup sliced almonds
3/4 cup mayonnaise or vegan mayo for egg free
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon dried mustard powder
Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Combine ingredients. Toss all ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Using a rubber spatula, mix until everything is incorporated well. Adjust with salt and pepper to taste.
Chill for flavor. Cover and pop in the fridge until ready to serve. It's best to at least allow the salad to sit for about 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to fully meld together.
How to serve: You can serve this on a simple bread, a lettuce wrap, or even with some crackers - whatever you prefer. It's great on its own as well.
