One of my newest favorite salads is Chicken Waldorf Salad from Danielle Walker's "Against All Grain". It's quick and easy to make and perfect for picnics!
Ingredients
- 2 cups red grapes, halved
- 3 stalks celery, thinly sliced
- 2 green apples, diced
- 1/2 cup raw walnuts, lightly toasted and chopped
- 12 cups mixed salad greens (about 12 ounces)
- 3 cups shredded, cooked chicken breast
- 3/4 cup Herb Ranch Dressing from "Against All Grain", or, I often like to substitute with Tessemae's Organic Creamy Ranch Dressing which can be found online here.
Instructions
In a bowl, toss all of the ingredients to coat with the dressing and serve.
