I am not a big fan of chicken salad but I loved this. We made some small changes: red grapes Miracle Whip instead of mayo doubled the portion of grapes and sliced the cheese super small so there wouldn't be giant chunks. For an extra treat have on croissants! Read More

Just okay. I used sharp cheddar and left out the grapes. I did add just a tbsp. of white wine dijon and onion/garlic powder. I spread this on potato bread. NOTE: This is best eaten right after you make it. It's really unappealing the next day. Read More

This is great (I can't wait for lunch to have my chicken salad on a croissant with fresh lettuce and tomato). I added about 1 tbsp. mustard and a few diced scallions. I also used fresh parm instead of cheddar and only added about 1/4 of a cup and I substituted pecans for the sunflowers. Thank you Brenda! Read More

Wow this is super good and easy. I love trying out different chicken salads for the summer and this is going on the list. The flavors are so unique and unexpected. I love the crunchy sunflower seeds and the sweet grapes. I served mine in a wheat pita. Thanks for sharing!!! Read More

This is pretty good but I think next time I will change a couple of things such as less mayo and I will chill it before eating it. Read More

This was fantastic. A great cool sandwich for the summer. The sunflower seeds and grapes complimented each other. I used shredded cheese in this instead of cubes so we didn't get just a bite of cheese. I also left out the celery. Read More

I made this for lunch one day and my children only picked out the grapes and ate that. My husband ate it but said the grapes just didn't go. Won't be making this again. Read More
