This salad was invented to serve the Queen at her coronation in 1953. This version was given to me by my foodie friend, Gail, and is so easy to throw together. It’s best made a day ahead of time for the flavours to develop, making it fantastic for entertaining. However, don’t worry if you can’t – it’s still delicious made just before serving.

1 cooked chicken
2 cups green grapes, cut in half
1 cup mayonnaise
½ cup unsweetened yoghurt
