Helpful tips

For the chicken, you can simply buy a rotisserie chicken from the store or those packs of grilled chicken that are already cooked that people use for salads.
Most recipes use all mayo but to cut calories and make the dressing light I used half and half. But, if you really enjoy mayo the you can easily swap out the non-fat yogurt.

Storing the leftovers

You can store this chicken Waldorf salad for about 2 days max due to the apples. They will oxidize and turn color but the taste should be fine. Technically, 3 days is better but some people don’t like eating oxidized fruit. Be sure to store in an airtight container, something with a lid or cover the bowl used with plastic wrap. This is not a recipe to be frozen.
