Notes
- You can mix up this chicken waldorf salad however you would like to make it your own. Crunchy walnuts are delicious in place of pecans. Red onions would be a great addition.
- To make your dressing even creamier, you could add sour cream or greek yogurt. If you add either, you can also add more tablespoons lemon juice as needed to taste.
- Try my homemade recipe for mayo; it is super quick and easy!
