Apple Chicken Salad

Apple chicken salad is really the old favorite Waldorf Salad with a few refinements. The real secret of this salad is to be a little different by using both red and green apples. This gives a different taste and texture. I also add some toasted pine nuts to give a little crunch.

Ingredients

• 2 cups diced boneless, skinless chicken breast
• olive oil
• 2 cups diced apples (red and green)
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
• 1/2 cup chopped celery
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 4 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• Pinch of rosemary

Method

Cook the diced chicken in 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet. Let cool.

In a big bowl, combine cooled chicken, apples, walnuts, and celery.

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, honey, mustard, and rosemary.

Fold the mayonnaise mixture into the chicken mixture and serve chilled over a red lettuce leaf.

A tip for toasting pine nuts is to place them in a pre-heated fry-pan without any oil and toss them a few time over high heat.
