Step 4: Combine Everything

1. Add the chicken, celery, grapes, nuts, and parsley into the bowl with the dressing.
2. Gently fold the mixture until everything is evenly coated.
3. Add more mayo if it seems too dry, or more lemon if you want extra brightness.

Pro tip:
Let the mixture chill for 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and improves texture.

Step 5: Prepare the Croissants

• Slice croissants horizontally, keeping the top attached like a hinge.
• If your croissants feel too soft, warm them for 2–3 minutes in a low oven to revive the flakiness—but let them cool before adding the filling so the dressing doesn’t melt.

Step 6: Assemble the Sandwiches

1. Add a leaf of lettuce to create a moisture barrier (optional but prevents soggy croissants).
2. Spoon a generous amount of chicken salad onto each croissant.
3. Add tomato slices if desired.
4. Close the croissant gently and serve.

Serving Suggestions

• Add a side of potato chips or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
• Serve the chicken salad in croissants for gatherings or brunch platters.
• For a lighter version, serve it in lettuce cups instead of croissants.

Storage Tips

• The chicken salad keeps well in the refrigerator for 2–3 days.
• Store the croissants separately to prevent them from getting soggy.
• If making ahead for an event, assemble right before serving.
