CHICKEN SALAD WITH GRAPES & PECANS

~ All You - August 27, 2010

6 c. chopped, cooked chicken
2 t. Dijon mustard
1/2 c. sour cream
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1 T. fresh lemon juice
2 c. chopped celery
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
2 c. red seedless grapes, sliced lengthwise
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 c. pecans

In a large bowl, combine chicken, Dijon mustard, sour cream, mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, celery, poppy seeds and grapes. Stir well and season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill until ready to serve. Just before serving, fold in pecans.

Notes: This is a good, but very mildly flavored, salad. If you like things with more zip, then you could add your favorite seasonings. We've used brown mustard in place of Dijon, just because we already had it, and it tasted fine. We also use walnuts instead of pecans because they're less expensive.
