Chicken Waldorf Salad

Ingredients

  • 1 Granny Smith apple cored peeled and diced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 cups chopped rotisserie chicken
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 1 cup red seedless grapes halved
  • 1/2 cup walnuts toasted and chopped
  • 2/3 cup mayonnaise
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

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.
