CHICKEN & GRAPE SALAD
This is a light meal and great for a protein based "salad" that can also be used for a topping on a bed of greens, like iceberg lettuce, arugula, kale or a combination of many greens. The sweet flavor from the grapes and bitter notes from the chives, celery and blue cheese really provide a burst of flavor and it's hard to hold back from a second serving. I have fond memories of this dish as it was made (my mom first created it and I have since adapted it for additional gut serving goodness) when my sister was getting ready to say her "I do's" back in 2000! I hope you can enjoy it and create your own amazing memories!
