Creamy Chicken Waldorf Salad
Creamy Chicken Waldorf Salad
This salad is a wholesome twist on the classic Waldorf, featuring a yoghurt-based mayo for a healthier, tangy dressing. Organic chicken is a lean protein source that supports muscle health and repair and helps keep blood-sugar levels balanced and cravings at bay. Walnuts add a satisfying crunch and are packed with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and brain-boosting nutrients such as vitamin E and magnesium. Crisp apples, with their skin left on, provide plenty of fibre for digestive health and antioxidants like quercetin, which help reduce inflammation and support immunity.
