Chicken Salad with Grapes Recipe: A Timeless Classic Updated with High Protein Options

Add A Pinch

Hi there,

I hope this email finds you well and hungry for something delicious!

For more than 30 years, this chicken salad with grapes has been one of my most beloved recipes—I've been whipping it up for family gatherings, holidays, potlucks, quick lunches, and everyday meals long before I started my website.

Over a decade ago, I first shared this tried-and-true Southern classic on Add a Pinch, and ever since, it's captured the hearts (and appetites!) of readers worldwide. With over 440 glowing comments, a near-perfect 4.95/5 rating, and countless "this is the best!" messages, it's become a true staple in so many homes—just like it is in mine.

I've just given the post a fresh update to make it even more helpful and delicious:

  • More variations for your style: High-protein cottage cheese swap, Greek yogurt for lighter creaminess, Dijon mustard + lemon for bright tang, apple additions, nut-free options, and more!
  • Step-by-step tips, storage/make-ahead advice, and serving ideas (sandwiches on croissants or biscuits, lettuce wraps, appetizers, meal prep perfection).
  • Nutrition highlights, including high-protein estimates for the healthier twists.

Whether you're craving that perfect sweet-savory balance with juicy grapes, crunchy pecans, tart cranberries, and tender chicken, or looking for quick, make-ahead lunches that feel special—this easy 5-minute recipe delivers every time.

Head over and check out the fully refreshed post here:

I'd love to hear your thoughts—have you made this before? What's your favorite twist (yogurt? Cottage cheese? Adding apples?)? Drop a reply or comment on the post—I read every one and always get inspired by your ideas!

Thanks for being part of the Add a Pinch family—your support means the world, and I'm so grateful to share these family recipes with you.

Have a great day!
