Recipe Variations

  • Instead of putting the chicken salad in wraps, you can put it in pitas, on croissants, or on a bed of lettuce.
  • Instead of shredded chicken, you can use shredded turkey in this recipe. Or, you can leave the chicken out all together and just double the apple and grapes.

Storage Tips

SERVE: As with most recipes containing meat and dairy products, I do not recommend leaving the Waldorf chicken salad out for longer than 2 hours. 

STORE: The chicken salad filling can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

FREEZE: Because of the chicken fillings dairy products, I do not recommend freezing the filling.
