A Summer Favorite!

Right now, it is the dead of winter; but, I'm thinking summery thoughts as I look through some of my favorite recipes. One thing my husband and I both love is this great summer salad--you can either put it on bread, in a pita pocket, or just eat it out of a bowl. Auntie D can leave the raisins out... *wink*

Chicken Waldorf Salad


1 can white chicken meat

1/3 c. mayo

1/3 c. sour cream

1 T. lemon juice

1 T. honey

1 RED apple, cored and cut into wedges, then diced

1 GREEN apple, cored and cut into wedges, then diced

1 stalk celery, diced

1 c. RED grapes, sliced (or diced)

1 c. GREEN grapes, sliced (or diced)

1/3 c. raisins

1/2 c. walnuts, chopped
  1. In medium bowl, blend: mayo, sour cream, lemon juice, honey.
  2. Stir in other ingredients.
  3. Eat.

NOTES: It really is necessary to use both red and green apples, and both red and green grapes. I have tried this recipe in various mixtures, but this complete one is your best option, honestly. Otherwise, it seems unbalanced to me.
I have also tried it with chopped pecans instead of walnuts, and either way, we liked it just as well.
