This will make 6 salads or 6 sandwiches depending on your portion sizes.

Ingredients for Rotisserie Waldorf Chicken Salad:

• 1 cooked rotisserie chicken from the supermarket or Costco, shredded. It will be about 3/4 pound. Albertson’s sells rotisserie chicken in a shredded form over near the lettuce or just buy the whole chicken. I used their Lemon Pepper Chicken. All of them are good! Instead of rotisserie, you can also grill your own chicken breast using 2 cups diced cooked chicken (about 1 large breast)
• 1 medium or large apple, unpeeled, chopped-I used Fuji apple
• 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved or quartered
• 1-3 stalks celery, finely chopped (I use a lot)
• 1/4 cup golden raisins or regular raisins
• 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, coarsely chopped

Dressing for either salad:

• 3/4 cup yogurt OR blue cheese dressing (preferably Greek non-fat yogurt)
• 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
• Juice of 1/2 orange (about 2 tablespoons)
• Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper

Directions:

Coat the chopped apple with the lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the chicken, grapes, celery, raisins and walnuts, and gently combine.

In a small bowl, combine the blue cheese dressing or yogurt, mayonnaise, orange juice and salt/pepper. Gently fold the dressing into the salad or leave on the side for your guests. Serve on a bed of greens, on wheat bread, or as lettuce wraps.

Waldorf salad is typically a holiday salad but I can eat it any time of the year!
