Waldorf Style Salad with Chicken

This is a spin on a classic Waldorf salad, but with the added protein of chicken and served over romaine to make it into a hearty lunch. I also put together a creamy poppy seed dressing for this, rather than using mayo only, which is what a traditional Waldorf salad is tossed with. I generally eat salads at work, so I usually pack my salads up in a quart sized mason jar to easily take it with me. Recipe loosely adapted from : The Domestic Geek

Ingredient

Food ration :

1 salad

2 tbsp.

mayonnaise

1 tbsp.

sour cream

1 1/2 tsp.

honey (or granulated sugar)

1/2 tsp.

apple cider vinegar

1/4 tsp.

poppy seeds

pinch

salt and pepper

1-2 tsp.

milk (optional to thin out dressing)

1/2 cup

diced apples

1/2 cup

red grapes, sliced in half

1/2 cup

coarsely chopped walnuts

1/4 cup

dried cranberries

1/4 cup

thinly sliced celery

cooked and diced chicken breast

1 1/2 cups

chopped romaine lettuce (or green of choice)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Whisk together all of the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

* Step 2

The dressing is quite thick (especially if you use sugar instead of honey), so if you'd like it thinner, you can add milk a tsp. or so at a time until you reach the consistency you like.

* Step 3

For the salad, just toss everything together, drizzle the desired amount of dressing over the top and enjoy!

* Step 4

If you'd like to pack this in a mason jar like I do, use a wide mouth quart sized one. Dressing in the bottom, then layer in the celery, apples, grapes, chicken, romaine, dried cranberries and walnuts...in that order.
