SKINNY WALDORF CHICKEN SALAD

This is one of my "go-to" chicken salads. Especially during the fall/winter season! It's a delicious, skinny version of the popular Waldorf salad. Adding chicken and lots of fruit makes it a lovely, colorful, and very satisfying, main course meal. The fruit tastes especially good in this salad since it's tossed in a wonderful, homemade light honey mustard dressing. Each serving has 258 calories and 5 grams of fat.

HEALTHY WALDORF CHICKEN SALAD



Healthy Waldorf Chicken Salad image

Chicken salad is one of the most versatile sandwich fillings. You can go bold by adding in hot sauce and celery with carrots, you can go sweet with grapes and oranges, or even go exotic with curry. The one factor is generally mayonnaise, and while creamy and delicious, it packs excess fat and calories. My Waldorf chicken salad lightens up with Greek yogurt. Savory Spice Shop® Park Hill maple pepper is a match made in heaven with this recipe.
