I love chicken salad and I love waldorf salad so last summer I decided to combine the two. The result was this delicious recipe that I often make, yes even during the winter months. It’s harder to find fresh good blueberries, but it’s well worth it.A tasty twist on regular chicken salad, this Waldorf Chicken Salad recipe is loaded with delicious fruit - apples, blueberries, grapes.

It took me some tweaking to get the “dressing” to where I wanted it; I finally opted for a light mayonnaise (if you’re egg free, use this) with lemon juice, honey, and a hint of dijon mustard. I love the result and I hope you will too!

This Waldorf Chicken Salad is a great way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken. Or you can simply cook up extra chicken when you’re making dinner one night and save it for this salad. Light or dark meat, the choice is yours.A tasty twist on regular chicken salad, this Waldorf Chicken Salad recipe is loaded with delicious fruit - apples, blueberries, grapes.

One note: I only use a little mayonnaise for this recipe because I prefer to keep it lighter and lower calories. If you prefer more dressing for your waldorf chicken salad, you can simply double the dressing recipe.
