  2. Add 1 pound of pasta (any shape you prefer) and cook according to package directions until al dente, stirring occasionally.
  3. Drain the pasta and return it to the pot. Stir in 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise to coat and prevent sticking. Let cool slightly.

  6. Halve 1 cup of seedless red grapes.
  7. Thinly slice 2 scallions.
  8. In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, chicken, celery, grapes, and scallions.
  9. Add 1/4 cup mayonnaise (or more, to taste).
  10. Season generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices (paprika, garlic powder, etc.).
  11. Toss gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  12. Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!
