Waldorf Salad
Description
This Waldorf Salad combines diced cooked chicken breast with fresh celery, grapes, walnuts, and green apples, all tossed in a dressing made from Greek yogurt, lemon zest and juice, salt, and black pepper. The lemon brightens the tangy yogurt, complementing the mild sweetness of grapes and crispness of apples and celery. Walnuts add a nutty crunch that contrasts with the tender chicken and creamy dressing.
Layered over fresh green leaf lettuce, the salad offers a variety of textures and refreshing flavors that work well as a light main course or side dish. The combination of fruit, nuts, and chicken is classic for this type of salad and provides both taste and visual appeal.
Store leftover salad covered in the refrigerator for up to two days, stirring gently before serving to redistribute the dressing and juices released from the apples and grapes. Chilling the salad before serving allows flavors to meld.
