Grilled Chicken Salad with Grapes and Walnuts

 

Robert and I have a tradition where we have a family meal with friends on Sundays. Typically, this involves Robert firing up the smoker or grill. He cooks up a storm and sometimes throws on some chicken breasts we can prepare throughout the week. I love it when he does this because I can go to the refrigerator, take out the grilled chicken, and turn it into an amazing dish with that yummy grilled flavor. I made a Grilled Chicken Salad with Grapes and Walnuts on this occasion. Its depth of flavor goes beyond that, with the addition of crunchy celery and whole grain mustard for that added pop of flavor as you burst open the mustard seeds. This salad is a winner and makes a great lunch, snack, or casual dinner.
