Notes

For a lighter dressing, replace half of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yoghurt.
For a celery-free chicken salad with extra crunch, add chopped radishes or cucumber.
For a sweeter version, add more grapes or diced apple.
For a tangier version, add chopped dill pickles or a small splash of pickle juice.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use within 3 to 4 days.
