Ingredients:

For the Chicken Salad:

• 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken (you can use roasted, grilled, or poached chicken)
• 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup red grapes, halved
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Add-Ins:

• 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts for a nutty crunch
• 1/4 cup dried cranberries for a touch of sweetness
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions for extra flavor
• 1/2 teaspoon curry powder for a hint of spice
• 1/4 cup diced pickles or relish for tanginess

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, celery, red onion, and red grapes.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper until the dressing is smooth and well-combined.
3. If you're using any optional add-ins like nuts, dried cranberries, green onions, or curry powder, add them to the chicken salad mixture at this point.
4. Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently toss everything together until the ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
5. Taste the chicken salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if needed, to suit your preferences.
6. Refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. It can also be made ahead and stored in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
7. Serve the chicken salad on a bed of lettuce, in a sandwich, or with crackers, depending on your preference.

This classic chicken salad is incredibly versatile and can be customized to your liking with the optional add-ins mentioned above. Enjoy it as a quick and satisfying meal for lunch, dinner, or picnics.
