Chicken salad with grapes and almonds is a classic potluck recipe that’s the perfect combination of savory and sweet.

This chicken salad with grapes and almonds is a delicious combination of savory and sweet flavors. Adapted from this Whole Foods Market recipe, this salad was a big hit at an extended family gathering we hosted recently.

The almonds give this chicken salad a little crunch, and the grapes bring the perfect amount of sweetness.

I love seeing healthier options on a buffet table, so I like to use Greek yogurt in place of some of the mayonnaise to make this salad a little healthier. The flavor is still what people are used to with chicken salad, and it can be served over lettuce or on bread for an easy lunch dish.

This recipe yields 9 cups of chicken salad, or 12 servings (3/4 cup each). You can cut it in half if you aren’t feeding a big group.

Serve this recipe with my Instant Pot potato salad for a fun summer meal!
