Not that odd, but I've recently discovered that grapes and chicken with Korean-style carrot (think "kimchi made of carrot") make for a wonderful combination in a salad.

Not that odd? I can barely imagine it. I can follow you up to grapes and chicken. Some mayonnaise based chicken salads have them. Adding carrot kimchi takes it to a different place, I think.

Thanks for sharing that.

Here the salad I did recently:

300 gr kimchi carrot,

300 gr fried chicken, neatly chopped,

250 gr neutral-tasting cheese, cut into thin long slices (take strong-tasting one and you'll ruin the melody),

about 100 gr grapes, pea-sized or big ones cut into small cubes (just enough to cover the top layer),

about 100 gr neutral-tasting or sweet nuts (like peanuts or cashew), or same amount of thinlong rusks (they'll soften after a few hours in the mix)

Fill the bowl, mix with mayonnaise. Recommended spices (can do without): powdered garlic, powdered paprika. Suggested spices: powdered cinnamon. Edible as is, preferable to let it stay in the freezer for a few hours. Lasts at least three days, often more (I never have enough to taste how long, exactly).
