So good! I couldn't wait to try this. I made it tonight so I could bring it for my lunch tomorrow. I love the grapes, water chestnuts, walnuts, mayo mixture, etc... The only change I'll make next time is to add a bit less seasoned salt. It's delicious and I'm excited for my lunch. I think I'll serve it over lettuce. Note: I quartered the recipe and it still made a lot.

This was different and delicious! There are so many exciting elements and together each bite offered something special. I loved the addition of the crunch of water chestnuts, the shredded parmesan and the herbs. I served with crescent rolls and will definitely make this again.
