Waldorf Chicken

This yummy salad is perfect for Easter brunch or a bridal or baby shower!  The recipe is very simple and you will have the dish ready  in under 30 minutes!  I love that such a simple salad can be so elegant and the presentation can be just as amazing too!  To be honest, I made this for myself one night.  The night before I had grilled extra chicken breast and because I don’t like to reheat chicken, I asked myself what I could make with cold chicken… a Waldorf Salad was the perfect choice!

Ingredients:
2 celery Stalks
1 cup seedless red grapes
2 grilled chicken breast
1/2 cup of organic light mayonnaise
salt and pepper – to taste
Italian seasoning (optional)
rice crackers (optional)
butter lettuce (optional)

Recipe:
In a strainer rinse your grapes and then make sure to rinse the dirt off the celery stalk too.  On a cutting board halve each grape. Take the two celery stalks and cut long ways down the center and then chop into bite size pieces.  Take the grilled chicken breast and cut into bite size pieces, as well.  You want to make sure all the ingredients are similar in size.  Then in a big bowl mix together the grapes, celery and chicken.  Add 1/2 cup of organic mayonnaise to the same bowl and mix thoroughly, making sure each piece gets coated with the mayo.  Add 1/2 tsp pepper and 1/2 tsp salt and mix.  You can add more salt and pepper if needed.  Store the ingredients in glass Tupperware in the refrigerator, until ready to serve.  You can present the Waldorf salad on crackers for an appetizer or an even healthier option is to make lettuce wraps filled with the Waldorf chicken, instead of a sandwich.

Enjoy!
