Waldorf Chicken Salad: Come To Mama!

I have no idea if Waldorf chicken salad is in “season” this close to Christmas, but I don’t really know much about seasonal food anyway. All I know is this chicken salad is so good, I’m going to make more of it and eat it again tomorrow.

This is the perfect dish to bring together all these flavors and textures. I’m using raw, unsalted almonds halved. Honestly, I probably could have kept going on the apples and grapes, too. But for the sake of portions, I’ve limited it to what you see below.

Notes

Shortcut tip:

Use 2 cans of chicken instead of cooking the chicken!

Healthy alternative to mayonniase:

Use a blended dressing of avocado and olive oil with lemon juice!

Vegetarian alternative:

Use finely chopped cabbage in the place of the chicken, then garnish with shredded carrots!
