While the chicken is cooking, dice the apple and cut the grapes in half.

Add the mayonnaise, vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and black pepper to a small bowl and stir well, until completely combined.

When ready to serve, add the lettuce to a large bowl, and drizzle the dressing, and mix it all together. 

Add the chicken, apples, grapes, walnuts, and blue cheese, and toss.

Serve, and enjoy!
