Pin This RecipeThis Spring I went to an Auburn University Woman’s Football Camp with my friend, Becky. It was an all-day event held at the University Athletic Complex. It was a lot of fun.
For lunch, at the football camp, we were served Chicken Salad Chick. It is a hometown company and people love their chicken salad. The only disappointment with the meal was that there was no Grape Salad. Everyone was talking about how good it was and that they were sad they didn’t serve it at lunch. I’ve never eaten Chicken Salad Chick’s Grape Salad, so I went in search of a recipe. I found a post on the Internet that said it was the official recipe straight from Chicken Salad Chick. It headed to the store to get the ingredients.
How to Make Grape Salad from Chicken Salad Chick
I followed the recipe exactly except I added a good bit more grapes. The original recipe had way too much cream cheese mixture and not enough grapes. I went back to the store for more grapes and that made it perfect. Let me tell you, this stuff is like crack. It is SO good! Cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, sour cream and grapes topped with brown sugar and pecans. This is my kind of salad! This makes a lot, so it is perfect for a crowd (brunch, baby shower, office potluck, cookout, tailgating, holiday breakfast). Make it today – you won’t regret it!

Can you cut the grapes in half to make it easier to eat?
You can make this however you would like.
The commentsš¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
This grape salad is addicting. I served it with chicken and dumplings and it was a hit.
Lol some of these comments though š
The dressing is so thick. How can you make the salad thinner?
this doesnt even include chicken in the ingredients???? is this a chicken substitute salad? makes no sense
You have obviously never heard of the restaurant Chicken Salad Chick. This is a sweet GRAPE SALAD recipe from the restaurant Chicken Salad Chick NOT a chicken salad recipe. Makes perfect sense!
itās a copycat recipe from the chain restaurant Chicken Salad Chick – so yummy, this stuff & the restaurant!! Enjoy!
Delish!!! Will be added to my appetizer favorites!
As stated in the description, this recipe, indeed, makes a ton!
That being said, I halved the recipe, but still used over 3# of grapes, and had way too much ādressingā!
After chilling it for a few hours, I removed 1/2 the salad, put it into a strainer, and rinsed off most the ādressingā, repeated with the remaining half.
After rinsing, tasted as good as the āoriginalā, from Chicken Salad Chick.
Thanks for sharing!
Do you only use the brown sugar for the topping or do you add it to the mixture when it calls for sugar?
The brown sugar is for the topping. Use white sugar in the sour cream mixture
granulated or powdered sugar???
Granulated sugar
I had this grape salad today and it is amazing! I went straight to the store to get the ingredients. I'm making it as a side for lunch after church tomorrow.
Chicken Salad Chick's GRAPE SALAD is phenomenal. I cannot wait to go home and make this! Thank you!
This stuff is addicting! My favorite side to get at Chicken Salad Chick! It's perfect with their chicken salad sandwich.
Chicken Salad Chick's version is a CHICKEN salad with grapes…it also has chopped celery…sounds like if you add Chicken and celery to this one, it will be great.
This is NOT a chicken salad recipe – it is a GRAPE salad recipe. It is a side dish at the restaurant Chicken Salad Chick. They may have a chicken salad recipe with grapes, but it is not this one. I would NOT add chicken to this sweet side dish/dessert.
How long will this keep in thre fridge?
3 to 5 days
Were is the chicken part of recipe
I think that "chicken salad chick" is the company that makes this? but the name is grape salad?

I am addicted to the grape salad. I had some a few years ago at a holiday pot luck and thought it was good but missing something and I was the only one who ate it. Now that I’ve had this kind, it’s perfect . For those asking where the chicken is, this is a side item on their menu and the real gem. Not everything from the place is chicken salad. They even have soup for a side that doesn’t have chicken in it either. I sometimes wonder if people read. Really yummy grape salad and I made half of it also.
