Chicken Waldorf Salad Recipe

Instructions

• In a bowl, combine the apple and lemon juice.  Add chicken, celery, grapes, toasted walnuts and mayonnaise.  Stir to combine. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
• Serve on a bed of spring greens or leaf lettuce.

Notes

• Don’t like walnuts or have them on hand.  Use other nuts like toasted pecans or sliced or slivered toasted almonds.
• Are you looking for a lighter version of Chicken Waldorf Salad? Substitute half of the mayo with non-fat Greek yogurt.
• Do you want to dress it up even a little more? Add one-half cup of dried cranberries or dried cherries.
• Do you want to sweeten it up a little bit?  Add two tablespoons of honey.
• Want to make a wrap or a sandwich with the chicken salad?  It is delicious on pumpernickel, rye, or European whole grain.
• You can substitute seedless green grapes for the seedless red grapes.
• You can use any kind of crisp apple like Granny Smith, Cripps Sweet, Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
