Recipe=Adriano's Summer Chicken and Grape Salad

This is a recipe from my friend, Adriano.

This is absolutely delicious and great in the summer, especially when the grapes go on sale for .99/#!


Dressing:
1 c. mayo
1 t. apple cider vinegar
5 t. honey
2 t poppy seeds
ground pepper, to taste


Salad:
2# boneless, skinless chicken breast
3/4 c. pecan pieces, toasted
2 c. red seedless grapes
3 stalks celery, thinly sliced


Prepare the dressing by thoroughly mixing together all dressing ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to dress the salad. (Can be prepared up to 2 days ahead.)


Preheat oven to 375. Place chicken in one layer in a baking dish with 1/2 c. water. Cover with foil and bake 25 min. until completely cooked through. Remove cooked chicken breasts from baking pan, cool at room temperature for 10 min. then cover and refrigerate.


When breasts are chilled (at least 2 hours in refrigerator), dice into bite-sized pieces and transfer to large bowl. Stir in pecans, grapes, celery, and dressing.


I mix it with lettuce to make it go a bit further sometimes, although it's great all by itself, too!

This sounds really really yummy! I LOVE grapes!

Thanks Adriano!
