In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients. Stir in chicken, celery, green pepper, apples if desired, onion and parsley. Cover and refrigerate for several hours. Stir in walnuts just before serving.

The dressing seemed a bit bland and there was too much for the salad.  Another time I would cut back on the amount of dressing.

Best chicken salad I’ve ever had! The lemon zest really adds a lot to the dressing. I used apples and topped it with almonds. My husband loved it.

Made as written and it was great. Bright lemon flavor makes it perfect for summer. Wasn’t sold on the apples, but they gave it a nice crunch and a bit of sweetness. Will definitely make again.

I made this recipe for lunch today. It was easy to put together. Everyone loved it.
