I don't like chicken salad. Especially with grapes, apples or nuts. Yuck.

Have a food processor? 3 egg yolks, 1 garlic clove, pasted (you chop the garlic finely, sprinkly with salt, and then mash it with the side of your knife into a paste. no chunks!), a squeeze of lemon juice and salt. Whir that in yer processor until frothy and then start adding a flavorless oil a few drops at a time until it emulsifies. As the emulsification happens, you can add a bit more quickly. 3 yolks can take up to 2 quarts of oil. More actually, but whos counting... The adjust seasonings. If it gets too thivk, you can add a touch of cold water to thin and smooth it out.

This can all be done by hand with a whisk as well.
