Healthy Chicken Salad Recipe
with Apples, Walnuts, and Yogurt

This healthy chicken salad recipe was given to me by my mother, a member of the long line of women in my family who can't cook. Since it was a recipe from my side of the family, my husband refused to try it and was especially skeptical of putting apples into chicken salad.

After tasting it, he agreed the apples make the texture very satisfying. I've since seen variations of this recipe adding diced grapes and red onion.

This is an excellent chicken salad to take on a picnic or packed in your lunchbox for work. Keep the salad separate from any bread until you are ready to eat to avoid a soggy sandwich. And don't forget an ice pack to keep your food cold before you eat it.
