Chicken Waldorf Salad


NOT VEGAN: This recipe was added to this site before I transitioned into vegan recipes.  I left it on this site for reference to the recipe when I cook for family members who are not vegan.

This was my absolute favorite summer meal, but it is delicious throughout the year. It makes for a great light lunch or dinner.

Ingredients:

2 c. cubed or shredded cooked chicken breast
2 c. chopped, cored Red Delicious apples
1 c. sliced celery
2/3 c. halved seedless red grapes
¼ c. chopped roasted pecans (optional)
½ c. fat-free mayo or Miracle Whip
½ c. fat-free sour cream
3-4 tsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. Dijon style mustard
1/3 c. Equal
Salt and pepper, to taste
Red leaf lettuce

Directions:
1. Combine chicken, apples, celery, grapes, and ¼ c. pecans in bowl.
2. Blend mayonnaise or Miracle Whip, sour cream, lemon juice, mustard, and Equal; stir into chicken mixture.
3. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

I LOVE spooning salad onto freshly baked rolls and eating as a sandwich. So yummy!
Also delicious served on bed of Red leaf lettuce or in a halved cantaloupe.
