Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
My brother was the cook in one of the restaurants I worked in several years ago, and he made a really great chicken salad that had grapes in it. I have to remember to get the recipe from him one of these days.
In the meantime, the Kitchen Monkey has a recipe I have to try, for Grilled Chicken Salad with Sage, Almonds, and Cranberries. There are many ways to make chicken salad (and I'm sure you'll tell us how you make yours in the comments below!), and this one looks like it's worth making today. There's still a couple of hours before lunch! Full recipe after the jump.
Grilled Chicken Salad With Sage, Almonds, and Cranberries3 breasts chicken (preferably grilled or smoked, then cubed)
1/2 large onion (chopped)
2/3 cup slivered almonds (dry toasted in a pan on the stovetop until light brown)
6 leaves fresh sage (minced or chopped)
1 cup dried cranberries
2/3 cup mayo
Simply mix everything together, using salt, pepper, and more or less mayo according to taste.

I used to cater small parties and a man once told me that mine was the best chicken sald he had ever tasted *blush*.
I use all white meat chicken (poached), and halved green grapes.
I make a dressing of raspberry vinegar (a little sugar in the vinegar to get a sweet/sour thing going)and mayo, salt and pepper.
I mix in toasted sliced almonds just before serving.
Can't tell you amounts because I just put things together until it tastes right.

1. Mix the chicken with the mayonnaise to taste; stir in curry to taste; add salt if needed.
2. Core, peel, quarter & slice apples thinly (about 2 c.).
3. Halve the grapes if large. Stir apples, grapes, nuts, celery into chicken mixture.

I will try this one!
