Chicken Salad Waldorf Wannabe
“First let me say, this is a very unconventional chicken salad. I had fond memories of going to visit my aunt when I was a girl. She was a healthy cook, and she always had something special prepared for our visit. I remembered that she had made a chicken salad. It was so yummy, but I could never figure out how she made it and she could not remember. Then I started piecing it together in my mind and then using these ingredients. This is what I came up with and it is awesome. My co-workers even loved it. Enjoy!!” – Janette
