Chicken Salad Preparation

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken Salad

    Add salt and black pepper to the mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.

Fruit and Nut Preparation

  1. 3

    Prepare the Fruits and Nuts

    In a separate bowl, combine the thinly sliced Gala apple, halved grapes, and chopped pecans. Mix gently to combine without bruising the fruit.

    Assemble the Salad

    On a large serving platter, create a bed of torn green leaf lettuce. Spoon the prepared chicken salad over the lettuce, followed by the fruit and nut mixture on top.
