Chicken Waldorf Salad

This is a quick and delicious twist on a classic Chicken Waldorf Salad!

I make this salad during the week for lunch, my family loves it and it’s a nice change as we are all working/schooling from home due to lockdown.

My family eats this in low GI rolls but eat most meals gluten free. I have my salad on top of cos lettuce or any greens I can find in the fridge. It would also be great on top of roast potato or kumera if you want that carb hit!

I use left over roast chicken or grab a cooked rotisserie chicken from the supermarket. Whatever is easiest!
