  • 1 cup seedless grapes, halved
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Ensure the cooked chicken is shredded or diced into bite-sized pieces and wash and halve the seedless grapes. Rinse the mixed salad greens and drain well.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken to save preparation time.
  • Seedless grapes work best; red or green grapes can be used based on preference.
  • For extra crunch, add chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans.
  • Can be served on its own or with toasted bread for a fuller meal.
  • Keep the salad refrigerated if not serving immediately to maintain freshness.
