Steps
Wash your hands with soap and water.
If not using leftover or "planned over" rice, cook rice according to package directions without adding salt. Chill.
In a serving bowl, mix parsley, black pepper, garlic, dressing, and mayonnaise together.
Add cooled rice, apple, grapes, celery, and chicken. Stir gently.
Serve cold on a bed of clean lettuce leaves, if desired.
Cover and refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
A child could wash the fruit and help remove the seeds.
