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.
