Simply The Best Chicken Waldorf Salad

walnuts

rotisserie chicken breasts, cubed

red grapes, halved

cranberries

Granny Smith apple,

red onion

mayonnaise

vanilla yogurt

lemon juice

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).


Spread chopped walnuts onto a baking sheet.


Roast walnuts in the preheated oven until they are fragrant and browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and let cool.


Lightly toss chicken with grape halves, cranberries, apple, walnuts, and onion in a salad bowl. Whisk mayonnaise, vanilla yogurt, and lemon juice in a separate bowl. Pour dressing over salad and toss again to coat.


What I liked the most about this salad was the cutting of calories with the yogurt and you don't miss any flavor. In fact I used more lemon juice after tasting, because I like it so much. I didn't have any grapes so subbed raisins (after all I was using dried cranberries anyway.) Still very good. So easy to make your own way. Next time I will add a little celery...I added celery seed, but still wanted a bit of celery. Also, I used the Rotisserie chicken made from this site. Thanks for the great recipe!

This was absolutely delicious. The only thing I would suggest to make it better is to prepare it the day before eating it so that the flavors can blend together. It was good the first day, but awesome the second and third day. I added a few more nuts to add a little more crunch.

I used our leftover Thanksgiving turkey in this recipe and my entire family loved it. They are asking for it again with  our leftover turkey at Christmas.  Great recipe.

I love this! It’s exactly what I was looking for. I did use red apples and added celery and some orange juice. But that’s only because we enjoy it with those items. Thank you for the recipe!!

Loved it! I added a tsp of sugar & 1 cup mayo... I didn't have yogurt.

It's great. I definitely suggest that you make it a couple of days ahead. I made it one day ahead but leftovers got better for the next 2 days...Flavor just gets better.

!I did change some of the ingredients to use what I had --didn't seem to matter--it was still great!

So delicious. Great for a picnic or as make ahead lunches. I just baked my chicken breasts and seasoned with pepper.

Had to make a few substitutions. Used green onions because the husband hates red used a gala apple because that's what I had. Didn't have yogurt so used 4tbsp of lemon juice whisked it with 1/2 cup mayo. We decided that was perfect. We added a little lemon pepper thought it definitely needed a little seasoning. Yummy. Will definitely make this again.

I really didn't think the vanilla yogurt worked. I've had some really good chicken salads with grapes and walnuts so I was looking forward to making it. I have a great recipe for Waldorf salad, and this didn't have any connection to it. Think it's misnamed. Disappointed. And, no, I wasn't expecting it to taste like Waldorf salad.
