Kim's Grilled Chicken Salad

Originally I had planned to make the Crockin' Girls chicken salad recipe, but I didn't have a whole chicken in the freezer like I thought I did.  And they weren't on sale -- I can't stand paying full price for something that is BOGO all the time!

So, I decided to take some elements of that recipe and come up with my own.  We marinated the chicken in Italian dressing and grilled it, which gives this salad a delicious flavor!  I used my Pampered Chef chopper to cut it into fine pieces.

All of the amounts are based on your own taste.  I didn't measure anything, so I'm giving approximate amounts here.  Put in more of what you like, and less of what you don't!

I was amazed that the chicken salad was so good with absolutely NO spices.

Kim's Grilled Chicken Salad

1 pound grilled chicken (marinated in Italian dressing), shredded or chopped fine
20 red grapes, halved
1/2 an apple, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/2 small onion, chopped
1/2 cup cashews
mayo to the texture you like (Less is more! You can always add more, but you can't take any away.  I think I used about 1/4 cup.)

I served the chicken salad on wheat bread, but it would be great on a baguette or crackers too.  Chris had a slice of tomato on his, but I didn't like the taste of that because the chicken salad is sweet.  He thought it was great!
