Notes
- For a healthier version of this chicken Waldorf salad recipe, you can swap some or all of the mayonnaise with plain or Greek yogurt.
- You can use rotisserie chicken or make poached chicken if you don't have any leftover cooked chicken.
- Keep the healthy Waldorf chicken salad covered and refrigerated if not serving straight away.
- If making ahead of time, leave the apples out until you are ready to serve so that they don't brown.
- Dried cranberries make an excellent addition!
