Chicken SaladThis is a cousin to a Waldorf salad using grapes instead of apples and almonds instead of walnuts. Grapes are a colorful, sweet complement to chicken.

This salad is topped with a delightful dressing made with honey and cinnamon. You can use either mayonnaise or plain yogurt for the dressing base.
