How to Make Apple Walnut Chicken Salad

Apple walnut chicken salad is good served at anything from a kid’s birthday party to a baby shower. It’s also good to bring to a potluck or office party. Serve it on a crescent roll, or any type of bread you choose. Make the salad a day ahead of time.

Things You'll Need

• 1-pound baked chicken breast
• 1/2 cup walnuts
• 2 red apples
• 1 stalk celery
• 3 green onions
• 1/2 cup mayo
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne

Instructions

1. Coat the walnuts lightly in canola oil and toast them in the oven for three to five minutes at 350 F. Keep a watchful eye because they will burn quickly.

2. Mix the cinnamon, sugar and cayenne together in a bowl. Coat the nuts while they are still hot. Do not get rid of the extra sugar mix you will use some of this in the chicken salad.

3. Dice the chicken, celery and green onion. Peel and core the red apples. Dice the red apples as well.

4. Mix the apples, walnuts, green onion, celery, chicken, mayo, apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of the leftover sugar mix from the nuts.

5. Refrigerate the chicken salad until you are ready to serve.
