Just make sure that if you add a lot of extras you may need more mayonnaise to hold it all together. Other variations you can add include chopped apple pieces, green shallots, and/or a mixture of nuts instead of just one type. Will be just as tasty, but the red gives the salad more color. I like to use red seedless grapes, but you can certainly use green seedless. Also can be made with leftover chicken or turkey. You can make this chicken salad with rotisserie chicken or canned chicken. Toasted or roasted nuts do tend to have more flavor, however. In my opinion, the nuts are best toasted and perhaps salted, but raw will work fine as well. Simply replace the cashews in the recipe with 1 cup of slivered almonds or almond pieces. Perfectly acceptable and equally delicious! You can also vary this recipe to make a chicken salad with almonds and grapes (instead of the cashews). There is no tartness, but the lemon is a new addition for me, and very worthy of its place in this chicken salad. oh so delicious!Īdd to that the secret ingredient that you'll hardly notice (but it definitely adds nice depth of flavor). the cashews are the highlight, mingled with the sweet, juicy grapes, the meaty shredded chicken, the crunch and distinctive flavor of the celery. Yeah, that's what happened here with this recipe.

You know how cashews are a bit sweet? Then when you roast them, it brings out their best flavor? I was planning to use almonds, but I was out of them, so I decided to try cashews for the first time. I love how the roasted cashews add a nutty, roasted flavor to the salad. I've made MANY chicken salads over the years, but this one is my best yet.

Since that time, I have made a version of this recipe time after time and came up with this version just recently. The elderly woman who was hosting the event made a fabulous chicken salad for us all that included celery, grapes, and some type of nuts (I think it was almonds). I have developed this recipe over the years since trying my first really good chicken salad at a women's Bible study years ago. Perfect on a croissant, a bed of lettuce, or simply all by itself (my favorite way of all). Nutty, sweet, and crunchy flavors all combining nicely together. This is a delicious fruited chicken salad with grapes and cashews.
