Chicken Waldorf Salad


From Chef Oonagh Williams of Royal Temptations Catering

I came up with this recipe many years ago as relief from a sticky summer. I was getting fed up with meat from the grill plus salad for dinner, so I threw together some favorite foods and ended up with this: a variation on Waldorf Salad. I’ve even found that kids who don’t normally like fruit will eat bowls of this salad.

Ingredients:Gluten-Free Chicken Waldorf

  • 1½ lbs. cooked chicken breast cut into 1-2” cubes (You can also use deli chicken or turkey cut thick, store-bought roasted chicken or leftover barbecue chicken. Check that any store-bought meat is gluten-free.)
  • 3 Granny Smith or Gala apples, peeled, cored and cut into small dice.
  • About 1 cup seedless grapes, preferably red or black for color. Cut large grapes in half.
  • 3 stalks of celery, washed, quartered lengthwise and cut into ¼ “ dice
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts, salted peanuts, or cashews
  • ½ cup raisins – I prefer golden raisins for color
  • 1 x 6 oz carton of Greek Style lemon yogurt
  • ½ cup mayo

Directions:

  1. Mix mayo and lemon yogurt together.
  2. Add diced apples and turn until covered by dressing.
  3. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning. If the yogurt or fruit are particularly tart, you can add honey or other sweetener to balance the flavor.
  4. Add nuts right before serving. Nuts will soften and lose their crunch if they sit in the dressing for too long.
  5. Serve!

Tips/Alternatives: Try adding bell peppers, dried apricots or even fresh nectarines.
