Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 rotisserie chicken, deboned, chopped
2 c green seedless grapes or red seedless grapes (cut into 4ths)
1 box golden raisans
2 med. honeycrisp apples, cored, peeled, diced
1 1/2 c chopped walnuts
1 - 1 1/2 c mayonnaise
1 - 2 tsp lemon juice, to keep apples from browning

Steps:

1. De-bone and de-skin a rotisserie chicken. Chop it up into bite size pieces, set aside. Using a rotisserie chicken also adds extra flavor to the salad. I even chop up as much of the skin as I can as well. **I found that a Traditional Rotisserie Chicken from Wal-mart works really well in this salad**
2. Cut grapes using a small sharp paring knife, cuts easier and with less pressure so as to not bruise the grapes, remove the ends from the grapes. Cut them into 4ths, add to chicken. Peel and dice apples, add to chicken. Add golden raisans, walnuts, mayonnaise and the lemon juice. Stir gently with a large plastic or wooden spoon to combine all ingredients well.
3. Best if chilled and served cold. Serve on a bed of lettuce or just by itself. Makes a great summer lunch salad or as an appetizer to a main dish. It is a very light and airy flavor, but so worth the few minutes it takes to make it.
4. **Note** If you want to add more color to the salad you can use Red Seedless Grapes in addition to the Green Seedless Grapes or in place of the Green ones. It is totally up to you if you want to add to or change up this recipe to your liking. I love it as is, but that is the joy of this site, you can make a recipe your own by adding or taking away what you do or don't like. Enjoy!!
