- ½ cup (104g) mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons (10ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon (5g) Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon each kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cooked chicken breasts, chopped or shredded (1½ to 1¾ pounds if cooking from raw)*
- 1½ cups chopped apple (I leave skin on; Honeycrisp, Fuji, Pink Lady, or other firm, sweet apples work well)
- 1 lightly rounded cup red grapes, halved
- 1 cup diced celery (I include any leaves)
- ½ cup chopped, toasted pecans (may substitute walnuts, sunflower or pumpkin seeds or a mix)
- Optional for serving: chopped fresh parsley, mixed baby greens, a roll or fresh pita
