I remember the first time I ever had Waldorf salad. My mom made the traditional creamy chicken salad with juicy grapes and crunchy walnuts and I adored every last bite!
Plump, flavorful grapes are one of my favorite ingredients to use in a deliciously-filling bowl of homemade chicken salad and the chicken salad recipe I created earlier this week incorporated sweet grapes, flavorful rotisserie chicken, nutritious broccoli slaw, chewy dried cranberries and crunchy cashews. Lots of good stuff!! But the curry powder I sprinkled in definitely kicked everything up a notch and gave the salad a depth of flavor I absolutely adored.
If you are a sucker for sweet and savory flavor combinations, I highly recommend this chicken salad! Though it’s delicious on its own, I think it would be fabulous folded into a lettuce wrap or scooped atop fresh whole wheat toast.

Adding the curry to that sounds delicious! I usually find things like this too sweet, so that would be a great addition.

Love having grapes in my chicken salad! One thing I tried was adding some plain Greek yogurt, in addition to mayonnaise (just less of it). Still had the same flavor, but with less fat 🙂
Julie says
i’ve done that, too!! definitely delicious!

Grapes are one of my favourite salad ingredients. I’m all about the salad items you wouldn’t normally consider! The more variety, the better in my opinion!
