Yield 4 appetizer servings or 2 large servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces red grapes, broken into small bunches
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 lemon, juiced
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 stalks celery with leaves, sliced into 1/3-inch pieces
2 grilled chicken breast halves, thinly sliced crosswise
1 Granny Smith apple
1/2 cup lightly toasted walnut halves or pieces
4 Bibb lettuce leaves, for serving
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.

Steps:

For the grilled grapes: Drizzle the bunched grapes with the olive oil, turning to coat. Place in a grill basket on the grill and cook, gently turning to cook evenly, until the grapes are slightly soft and beginning to char and burst, 3 to 4 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove the grapes from the stems and set aside.
For the dressing: Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard and lemon juice. Continue to whisk while slowly streaming in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
For the salad: Add the celery and chicken to the bowl with the dressing. Core, halve, then slice the apple into 1/4-inch slices, and add to the bowl. Add the walnuts and cooled grapes to the bowl and toss to coat everything with the dressing.
To serve, line a salad plate with the lettuce leaves. Spoon a quarter of the chicken salad over the top of each leaf. Serve immediately.
