    Ingredients

    • 1 cup diced chicken
    • 1 heaping tablespoon minced red onion
    • 1 heaping tablespoon minced celery
    • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
    • 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
    • 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
    • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
    • Dash of hot sauce
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper, to taste

    Directions

    Cook's Note

    For a bed of greens, place 2 cups mixed salad greens on a plate; spoon chicken salad over the top, and add 6 to 8 halved red seedless grapes. For a whole-grain sandwich, layer your favorite whole-grain bread with 1/4 cup baby greens (we used arugula) and chicken salad.

      I used my Madeleine and sliced half an apple and added a jar of marinated artichokes but tripled the recipe for those added ingredients. My husband loved it!

      My toddlers loved it...need I say more? I did not use onion or celery (onion to save $, celery bc I got lazy), but I did use kosher salt and I added parmesan and mozzarella to taste
