You must be in the layout view in order to add a legend.  If you are trying to add the legend in data view, the option will be greyed out.

Just to add more detail to Randy Breaux reply, there are several methods to get to Layout View:

  • From the menu on the top left, View, Layout View.
  • In the lower-left, click on the small "computer-like icon" to the right of the "paper-sheet icon" (which is Data View).
  • If you find the icons are a bit small (I do), you can Customize your own buttons which are considerably larger.  That's what I did for in the bottom-center.
