Thread: Chicken Waldorf Salad

I used to get this salad at the hospital cafe every evening. I tried for years to reproduce it and finally convinced someone to give me their secret. It's the heavy mayonnaise--probably not the healthiest option, but it really makes the salad. I get mine at a restaurant supply.

Mix together in a large bowl:

1 medium apple, unpeeled, chopped
Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
2 cups diced cooked chicken (about 1 large breast)
1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1/2 cup walnuts

Fold in:

3/4 to 1 cup of heavy mayonnaise

I serve on a bed of lettuce with a warm dinner roll. You can also add golden raisins to this, but I prefer it without them.

While this recipe is good immediately after preparation, it's really good several hours later!
