Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, grapes, celery, red onion, and toasted pecans.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently stir until everything is evenly coated.
Adjust the seasoning with more lemon juice, salt, or pepper, if needed.
Cover and chill the salad for at least 30 minutes.
Serve cold on butter lettuce leaves or in croissants, if desired.

Notes

Swap pecans with walnuts or almonds for a different flavor.

Use Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter version.

Add dried cranberries for extra sweetness.

Omit nuts for a nut-free version.

Rotisserie chicken works well as a time-saver.
