Flavor Tips & Variations
For a lighter version, use plain Greek yogurt (mix with a small amount of mayo if you want extra richness). For crunch, add chopped celery and nuts; for tang, increase pickles/relish or lemon. Want a sweeter profile? Use more grapes or add a touch of honey. For a smoky twist, mix in a little smoked paprika.

Professional-care note (Food safety)
If using leftover chicken, refrigerate promptly and keep it at safe temperatures. When reheating or handling chicken, follow standard food-safety guidance (e.g., avoid leaving perishable food at room temperature for extended periods). If you have a medical condition that requires dietary restrictions, consider your mayo/yogurt and sodium intake.
