Add the diced chicken, chopped celery, halved grapes, and chopped almonds to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated.

Step 6

Chill the salad

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
