Another option is to roast the walnuts on a baking sheet in an oven preheated to 300°F for approximately 15 minutes or until fragrant. Once done, transfer the toasted walnuts to a plate and let them cool down before using them further in your recipe.
- 2In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, and maple syrup. Whisk the ingredients together until they are thoroughly mixed. Season the mixture with salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
Cultural note
The combination of chicken, grapes, and walnuts in a salad is a classic American dish, often served at summer picnics and gatherings. The use of mayonnaise and vinegar in the dressing reflects influences from traditional American cuisine.
Seasonal note
This Chicken Grape Salad is best made in the late summer to early fall when grapes are in season, ensuring the fruits are at their peak freshness and flavor.
Health note
This salad is a good source of protein and healthy fats from the chicken and walnuts, while the grapes and parsley provide essential vitamins and antioxidants. However, the mayonnaise and maple syrup contribute to its higher fat and sugar content.
