Kale Waldorf Chicken Salad & Cashew Avocado 'Mayo'

I added some leftover chicken breasts that I had in the fridge. Though if you are looking for a vegan alternative, feel free to omit the chicken. Roasting grapes in a little bit of olive oil in a skillet on the stovetop for 8-10 minutes (while closely supervising) brings out their flavor.
