Grape Cluster Salad

Try this layered fruit-and-meat salad and you'll be back for seconds! With its clever presentation, "Grape Cluster" salad makes a worthy centerpiece for a holiday table. You'll love the interesting flavor pairings — chicken with walnuts, apple, and grapes. Use dark or light grapes as you prefer; seedless is best, but if you can't find any, remove the seeds. There are several ways to make it — without the apple, with napa cabbage, with other nuts — pick whichever you like.

Step 1:

How do you make Grape Cluster salad? Here are the ingredients. Boil the chicken breast and eggs ahead of time.
Step 2:

Finely chop the walnuts with a knife. Finely chop the chicken breast.
Step 3:

Grate the eggs and any hard cheese on the coarse side of a box grater.
Step 4:

Cut the grapes in half, removing the seeds if your variety has them. Grate the apple on the coarse side of a box grater.
Step 5:

Assemble the salad. An oval dish is best so the cluster comes out elongated (mine is round). First layer: chicken breast, spread with mayonnaise.
Step 6:

Second layer: sprinkle with half the walnuts.
Step 7:

Third layer: eggs, spread with mayonnaise.
Step 8:

Fourth layer: apple.
Step 9:

Fifth layer: hard cheese, spread with mayonnaise.
Step 10:

Sixth layer: sprinkle with the rest of the walnuts.
Step 11:

Seventh layer: arrange the grape halves on top.
Step 12:

Garnish with parsley leaves and add a grape stem for effect. The Grape Cluster salad is ready — enjoy!

You can garnish with lettuce leaves instead of parsley.
Homemade mayonnaise is worth the effort — tastier and more wholesome. You can also use sour cream or plain yogurt instead, on their own or mixed in to your taste, which lightens the dish.
How do you hard-boil eggs? To keep the shells from cracking, start them in cold water over low heat. Boil for 9 minutes after the water comes to a boil, then transfer to cold water to cool — the sudden temperature change makes them easier to peel.
