Waldorf Chicken Salad is a classic dish that originated in the late 19th century at New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. This flavorful salad combines tender pieces of cooked chicken, crisp apples, crunchy celery, sweet red grapes, and toasted walnuts, all brought together with a creamy mayonnaise-based dressing (often lightened with yogurt for a healthier twist). With its balance of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, it offers a nutritious option for a light meal or side dish. The chicken provides lean protein, while the fruits and nuts contribute antioxidants, vitamins, and heart-healthy fats. However, the traditional mayo-heavy dressing can add significant calories and saturated fat, so opting for a lighter dressing can make it a more waistline-friendly choice. Perfectly embodying the mix of sweet and savory, Waldorf Chicken Salad is a timeless dish with both nutritional benefits and indulgent flavors.
