Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, sugar, and Dijon mustard until smooth and creamy.
Add the cooked chicken, celery, apple, grapes, and red onion to the bowl.
Gently mix until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Stir in the chopped parsley.

Rotisserie chicken works great for convenience.

Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.

Substitute part of the mayonnaise with plain yogurt for a lighter version.
