Instructions

Step 1

This Waldorf chicken salad recipe is super easy and yummy too.
Cut boiled chicken tenderloins into small chunks and place in a large bowl. Chop a stalk of celery into tiny cubes, and add to the chicken. Slice grapes in half and add to the mixture. Cut 2 apples into small chunks. Leave the skin on the apples unless you don't like the skin. Add the apples to the chicken mixture.
Step 2

Toss in a handful of raisins and dried cherries. Now add the walnuts. It really is this easy! If you like more or less of a certain fruit, you may adjust the recipe to suit your preferences. These are the traditional fruits in most Waldorf chicken salad recipes, but you could try a tropical version with pineapple and mango or any variety that sounds good to you.
Step 3

Make the dressing. In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup light mayonnaise with 3 tbs. lemon juice and 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg or cinnamon. (your preference) Add 1 tablespoon sugar (or a little more if you like) and mix well. Fold the dressing into the chicken salad. Add a little at a time, and stop adding the dressing when the salad is well-coated. You may have a little left over. The lemon juice will keep the apples from turning dark, and makes the salad refreshing and light.
