Do you have a favorite chicken salad recipe? Mine has to include something crunchy and something sweet. The Light Waldorf Chicken Salad is wonderful because it has two of my favorite textures. This one is super easy to make, as are all my recipes, and can feed a family of 4 twice (once for dinner and the next day for lunch)

In a separate bowl, mix the mayo, yogurt, and dijon mustard adding a pinch of salt and pepper if desired. 

Add the mayo mixture to the large bowl. 

Cut the romaine lettuce in half and remove the smaller leaves in the center to make room for the salad. 

With a large spoon, add the salad to the lettuce. Refrigerate for an hour and then serve and enjoy. 

Here is the finished product.  It was so delicious. We had it for dinner and for lunch the next day. You can easily add it to a roll and send it off with the kids for a great lunch meal.

    Unfortunately, my husband doesn't think fruit belongs in a salad. He doesn't know what he's missing! This looks and sounds delicious.
