WALDORF CHICKEN SALAD

I LOVE the flavor combination in a classic Waldorf Salad, so I created this salad, which has become my favorite chicken salad. It's also good with pecans if you don't have walnuts. Good, firm apples are an important component of this recipe.

Tips:

  • For a crispy chicken salad, use a rotisserie chicken that has been cooked with the skin on. The skin will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • If you don't have a rotisserie chicken, you can also use cooked chicken from a grocery store. Just be sure to choose a chicken that is cooked without any added seasonings or sauces.
  • To make your chicken salad even more delicious, add in some fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or basil.
  • If you like a sweeter chicken salad, add in some chopped grapes or dried cranberries.
  • For a crunchier chicken salad, add in some chopped walnuts or almonds.
  • Be sure to chill your chicken salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together and will make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

Waldorf-style chicken salad is a delicious, classic salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a light and refreshing meal, give Waldorf-style chicken salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
