Leftover cooked chicken makes this chicken Waldorf salad, loaded with apples, grapes, celery and walnuts, a snap to assemble. If you use rotisserie chicken, keep in mind that it's salty and omit the salt in the dressing. Serve over watercress, with a chunk of whole-grain baguette.

I've made this twice now and it is delicious. Perfect just the way it is written although I did use a granny smith apple one time. The 1 1/2 cup serving size is really filling!

This is a new favorite! I love chicken salad but often avoid it due to the high calorie and fat content. I am happy to say that this chicken salad has bridged the gap for me. I love the crunchiness from the celery and nuts. And the apple and grape add additional depth of flavor and texture. I used greek yogurt for extra richness and creaminess. This is a healthy chicken salad that left me wishing I had made a double batch! Pros: Love the textures and depth of flavor

Quick Chicken Salad This was a quick and easy recipe to come together. I used rotisserie chicken which was ok. Think I'll use canned chicken next time as the flavor is better to me. Pros: Tasty Crunchy Tangy

Great for Lunches This was very good. However I wished it was slightly sweeter. I will mak this again but I think I try a half an orange instead of Lemon or maybe just add a little honey. Cons: Wished it was sweeter

Loved the Yogurt I really like using yogurt instead of mayo for this salad...makes me feel a bit better about it. And the other ingredients are all tasty and healthy. I made a version the other day but didn't have many of the ingredients - did just a pear Gorgonzola walnut salad served in endive http://tiny.cc/iw2q9. These are great healthy salad options.

a yummy chicken salad I made this salad using leftover chicken after making chicken soup from scratch. I was looking for a good way to use it up. The salad turned out great! I did make a few changes though: low fat sour creme instead of low fat yogurt craisins instead of walnuts and no grapes. I was very happy with the results. I think adding the lemon juice was a great idea Pros: a great way to use up leftover chicken fast and easy to make and it can be modified in so many ways Cons: grapes in a waldorf salad? that's just wrong to me!

Delicious Quick Salad! I made this salad for lunch and ate it with raw spinach and it was delicious! It didn't take long to prepare and it was a filing light well balanced meal. I did add some salt and pepper and substituted some chopped bell pepper and scallions instead of celery and it tasted great. I was nervous about the apples getting brown since I made this salad the night before I needed it but the apples were still fine by the time I finished the salad 3 days after I made it. Good lunchtime salad and I will make it again! Pros: Quick Light Tasty
