Recipe Talk

My daughter took me to lunch at a delightful sandwich shop in downtown McKinney, TX, and we ordered this WONDERFUL chicken salad.

It had grapes, nuts, celery, onion, mayo, and something different that we can't pin down.

I have never had a chicken salad as great as this before or since. Any help is appreciated.
