- Start by preparing the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, plain yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste until the dressing is zippy and creamy.
- Cook the chicken thoroughly, then let it cool. Dice or shred into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine the chicken with chopped red onion, sliced apples, celery, grapes, dried cranberries, and chopped parsley, ensuring everything is well mixed.
- Pour the dressing over the mixed ingredients, tossing gently to evenly coat all components. Add chopped walnuts and pecans for texture and nutty flavor. Toss again to integrate everything for a balanced, colorful presentation.
- For serving, arrange the salad on a bed of mixed greens for extra crunch and freshness. Garnish with additional chopped herbs or nuts if desired. Serve immediately for maximum crunch or chill for 30 minutes for a more refreshing experience.
- Enjoy your vibrant, crunchy, and creamy Chicken Waldorf Salad, packed with fruity, nutty, and zesty flavors that are perfect for any occasion!
