Spicy Mustard Chicken Salad with Grapes

There is nothing quite like an easy meal or having a meal prepped and ready to go on a nice Summer day. The quicker the meal, the quicker you can go back to enjoying time outside. And isn’t that what summer is all about? Enjoying time with friends, family, or just by yourself enjoying the outdoors and sunshine.

So, today I have a simply delicious recipe to share with you all so that you can get back to enjoying the weather 🙂 One of my favorite things about this Spicy Mustard Chicken Salad is that it can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, serve it up on a nice brioche bun, on top of a beautiful bed of baby greens, with crackers, or just grab a fork and dig in! Since this Spicy Mustard Chicken Salad with grapes can be prepped ahead of time, it also makes for a delicious dish to pack and bring along on a picnic or to the beach.

If you read the blog on a regular basis, it’s no surprise to you that I made a spicy dish. My family and I love a bit of heat in just about every recipe, not overpowering though, just enough to give the recipe a little ZING. A little kick. I added grapes to my Spicy Mustard Chicken Salad recipe too, they are the perfect balance to the jalapenos, making this chicken salad a bit spicy, a bit sweet, full of crunchy  textures, and jam packed with flavor. Did I mention it’s healthy too? That’s a huge WIN in my book!

Here’s what you are going to need to make this Spicy Mustard Chicken Salad, you may have all the ingredients at home right now.

• 1 store-bought rotisserie chicken, meat pulled off and shredded
• 4 celery sticks – approx 1 cup, diced
• 1/2 cup sweet onion, diced
• 1 jalapeno – seeds removed, diced
• 1/2 cup red grapes – quartered
• 2 tablespoon Silver Spring Foods Jalapeno Mustard
• 1/2 cup mayo – I used light

I used a rotisserie chicken because it was easy, but you could definitely grill, bake or crock pot a pound or so of chicken and use that if you prefer.

I used Silver Spring Foods Jalapeno Mustard because it was the perfect way to add that heat and zing to this chicken salad without a lot of effort on my part, they did the work of making a delicious mustard so we don’t have to…we get to just enjoy it!  You may be familiar with Silver Spring Foods due to my Tangy Cranberry Wings recipe,  but I wanted to point out that they are Family-owned, the world’s largest grower and processor of horseradish and they also have specialty mustards and sauces.  Making Silver Spring Foods an obvious choice for this recipe and more.

Now, are you ready for your new favorite chicken salad recipe? Good, because I am about to go make myself a sandwich that’s loaded with this Spicy Mustard Chicken Salad with grapes 😉
