Healthy Waldorf Salad

Heidi Hunt

Report

This Healthy Waldorf Chicken Salad is a classic recipe for good reason! It has the perfect combination of crisp apples, sweet grapes, and crunchy pecans! This recipe is lower in fat and higher in protein than traditional Waldorf salad but still has all the great flavor and texture you know and love! Plus, it's super easy and ready in just 20 minutes (or less)!

Instructions

Start by washing and preparing the produce. I used the small dicer on my vegetable chopper for the apple, celery, and red onion so they were even and to save time.
Mix together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
In a large bowl, add the chicken, apples, grapes, celery, red onions and pecans.
Add the dressing and toss everything to evenly coat.
Then toss in the mixed greens*.
Taste and add any extra salt, sugar, lemon juice, mayo, etc to taste. Serve in a croissant with mixed greens underneath (or bread of choice) and enjoy!

Notes

*Meal prepping tip: If you're making this waldorf chicken salad for meal prep, you can omit adding the greens and add them right before serving so they don't get soggy!
