Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 cup apples, diced
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large lettuce leaves or wraps
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of cooked chicken, 1 cup of diced celery, 1 cup of diced apples, 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon of honey, salt, pepper, and 4 large lettuce leaves or wraps.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced cooked chicken, diced celery, diced apples, and chopped walnuts. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently mix the ingredients together until they are evenly distributed.
- In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by mixing together the Greek yogurt and honey. Stir until the honey is fully incorporated into the yogurt.
- Pour the yogurt and honey mixture over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the large bowl. Gently fold the dressing into the salad until all the ingredients are coated evenly.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a small pinch of each, and adjust according to your preference. Mix again to ensure the seasoning is well combined.
- Once the salad is ready, take one large lettuce leaf or wrap and place a generous scoop of the Waldorf chicken salad in the center.
- Fold the sides of the lettuce leaf or wrap over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top to create a wrap. Repeat this process for the remaining lettuce leaves or wraps and salad mixture.
- Serve the Waldorf chicken salad wraps immediately, or refrigerate them for up to 30 minutes if you prefer them chilled. Enjoy your delicious and refreshing wraps!
Tips
- Use Leftover Chicken: Save time by using leftover rotisserie chicken or any cooked chicken you have on hand. It makes the preparation even quicker!
- Customize Your Ingredients: Feel free to swap out the apples for pears or add in some dried cranberries for an extra burst of sweetness.
- Chill for Extra Flavor: For a more refreshing taste, let the salad sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Wrap Variations: If you want to switch things up, try using whole grain tortillas or collard greens instead of lettuce for a different texture and flavor.
- Perfect for Meal Prep: These wraps are great for meal prep! Assemble them in advance and store them in the fridge for a quick grab-and-go meal throughout the week.
