Tips and Tricks

Use cooked chicken breast that has been cooled before mixing.
Dice the chicken and apple into similar-sized pieces for a better texture.
Halve the grapes so they mix evenly through the salad.
Slice the celery thinly so it adds crunch without taking over.
Toss gently so the apples, grapes, and walnuts keep their shape.
Keep the salad covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
