Harvest Chicken Salad

This Harvest Chicken Salad has grapes, apples, raisins, and dried cranberries. The perfect fall lunch!

Several years ago, Subway introduced a chicken salad that had grapes, apples, raisins, and dried cranberries. I really liked the idea of this salad, although I felt like a homemade version would be much better. I used Ina Garten’s Chicken Salad Contessa recipe as inspiration for the base, then added in some fall-inspired fruit.

I love the sweet and savory balance of this chicken salad. I’ve served it on bread or in a dish. It’s the perfect lunch or light dinner in early fall! This chicken salad would be great with Cheddar Dill Scones or Cheddar Bay Biscuits!
