This tasty Neiman Marcus Chicken Salad has a secret ingredient that gives the texture of the salad a wonderfully creamy texture. What is it ? Freshly whipped cream folded into the chicken, almond and grape salad. It works and it is wonderful. Serve on a bed of curly lettuce, with crackers or on a croissant. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 lb. cooked chicken breasts, cut into 1/2" cubes
1 cup good quality mayonnaise
1 cup finely diced celery
1 cup halved purple grapes
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1 Tablespoon finely chopped parsley (I used 2 teaspoons dried)
1 tsp, kosher salt
1/2 cup freshly whipped cream
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

If you haven't already done so, toast the almonds (400-f degrees for 7 minutes) and whip heavy whipping cream.
Combine the chicken, mayonnaise, celery, grapes, almonds, parsley, and salt in a bowl. Add whipped cream and pepper; fold to combine.
Serve on lettuce or a croissant.
