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.

Recipe FAQ’s
My Waldorf salad dressing is made with Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Simple ingredients for a delicious dressing.
The salad was first created by a chef at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York in the late 1890s. It gained popularity and has stuck around! Basically, it is a salad made with apples, grapes, nuts, celery, and a dressing. My recipe takes this classic recipe and adds a twist with less mayonnaise and making the salad into a handheld sandwich.
