Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Cooked rotisserie chicken
- 2 units Celery stalks
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 cup Red grapes
- 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.75 cup Dairy-free mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Remove all the meat from the rotisserie chicken and chop it into bite-sized pieces, discarding the skin and bones. Place the chopped chicken in a large mixing bowl.
Chop the celery stalks into small pieces. Dice the red onion finely. Halve the red grapes.
Add the chopped celery, diced onion, and halved grapes to the bowl with the chicken.
Toast the sliced almonds in a small dry pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden and fragrant. Add almonds to the bowl.
Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the bowl with the chicken mixture.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, dairy-free mayonnaise, and lemon juice until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetables in the large bowl. Gently stir everything together until the chicken and veggies are well coated with the dressing.
Season the chicken salad with salt and pepper to taste, and stir once more to ensure even seasoning.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days to enhance the flavors. Enjoy the salad on a bed of greens, as a sandwich filling, or with crackers.
