Chicken Salad with Blue Cheese and Grapes

Grace Parisi considered many classic salads, like Waldorf and Cobb, before deciding on her version of chicken salad, which mixes store-bought roasted chicken with blue cheese, grapes, celery and sunflower seeds. She likes eating it wrapped in Bibb lettuce leaves.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 3 ounces crumbled mild blue cheese, such as maytag (3/4 cup)
  • 2 1/2 cups diced roasted chicken (from 1 rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 1/2 cups halved red and green grapes
  • 2 celery ribs, finely diced
  • 3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup salted roasted sunflower seeds

Directions

  • In a large bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the vinegar. Fold in the blue cheese, breaking it up with a fork. Add the chicken, grapes, celery and parsley and fold gently. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in the sunflower seeds and serve.
