Meanwhile, roughly chop the walnuts. Wash the grapes and pluck them from the stems. Wash, trim, and slice the celery into thin rounds. Wash the spinach and spin dry. For the dressing, peel and finely chop the garlic. Whisk together vinegar, oils, lemon juice, pepper, and salt. Remove the chicken from the stock, let it drain slightly, and tear into bite‑sized pieces.
