Steps
Watch the chicken salad recipe video, it's right after the directions.
With a sharp knife, chop the cooked chicken into small pieces and add to a large bowl.
Finely chop the red onions and celery and add to the bowl with the chicken. Then halve the grapes, and add them along with the almond slices to the bowl.
Mix the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and pepper together to make the salad dressing then add it to the bowl with the chicken and mix thoroughly.
Taste, and add salt if needed.
The salad tastes better if you can let it sit in the fridge so the onion flavor permeates through, but you can eat it immediately if you need to.
