- Step 2: Add the sliced grapes, chopped walnuts, red onion, optional celery, and herbs to the bowl with the chicken.
- Step 3: Stir together the tahini, lemon juice, and olive oil until smooth. Pour this tahini sauce over the chicken and stir until all of the ingredients are coated in the creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

Recipe Notes
Note 1: This should make about 2 heaping cups of cooked, diced chicken. Note 2: A good tahini can make a world of difference in how this recipe turns out. Look for a tahini that's light in color and very runny. It should taste rich and slightly sweet, not at all abrasive. We like this brand of tahini.
