- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and sugar until smooth.
Mix the Ingredients
- Add the shredded chicken, celery, red onion, sweet pickle relish, almonds, and grapes (if using) into the bowl with the dressing. Stir until well combined.
Chill & Serve
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled on croissants, sandwich bread, lettuce wraps, or over a fresh green salad.

For a healthier option: Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
For extra crunch: Add chopped pecans or walnuts.
For a touch of sweetness: A drizzle of honey or extra grapes enhances the flavor.
