Chicken Waldorf Salad
This is a fuel-you-up kind of recipe, the classic Chicken Waldorf Salad. Made famous by the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, this salad may look kind of funny, but trust me when I say it’s incredible.
Chicken Waldorf Salad – Keep it easy.
If you have a few cuts of chicken, be it breast, thigh or even a whole bird kicking around, by all means, use it up!
For salads like this, what appeals to me is how easily they come together. I want to be able to get my groceries, get home and toss it together in under 10 minutes, and using a rotisserie chicken helps a ton.
Pull apart your meat; if you want to dice it up into cubes, go for it, but I like the texture of a pulled chicken.
Chicken Waldorf Salad – Apples and grapes; it just works.
People have strong opinions on whether or not fruit has a place in mainstream salads. I’m here to tell you; They 1000% do.
Not only do they add fresh flavour, bursting acidity, and a pop of colour, they also add texture. Without the apples and grapes, it wouldn’t be a Waldorf Salad.
Don’t be afraid of fruit and salads; it’s a killer combo!
The Dressing.
This is a fantastic dressing; it’s creamy, punchy, and has a little secret textural addition.
Combine 4 tbsp Greek yogurt, 3 tbsp light mayo, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 lemon juiced, ½ tsp poppy seeds, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of pepper.
By adding poppy seeds, we add a bit of crunch that this dressing needs.
Give it a good mix and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days.
