Waldorf Salad Lettuce Wraps

Waldorf Salad Lettuce Wraps: Crispy, Crunchy, and Delicious

Ingredients:

For the Waldorf Salad Filling:

  • 2 cups cooked and diced chicken breast (rotisserie chicken works well)

  • 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved

  • 1 cup celery, finely chopped

  • 1 cup apple, diced (choose a sweet and crisp variety)

  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Lettuce Wraps:

  • Large iceberg or butter lettuce leaves, washed and dried

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Waldorf Salad Filling:

    • In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, halved grapes, chopped celery, diced apple, and chopped walnuts.

  2. Make the Dressing:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  3. Combine Dressing with Salad:

    • Pour the dressing over the Waldorf Salad filling and gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.

  4. Assemble the Lettuce Wraps:

    • Take a large lettuce leaf, spoon a generous portion of the Waldorf Salad filling onto the center of the leaf.

  5. Wrap and Secure:

    • Fold the sides of the lettuce leaf inward and then roll it up tightly, creating a wrap. Secure with toothpicks if needed.

  6. Repeat and Arrange:

    • Repeat the process with the remaining lettuce leaves and salad filling, arranging the wraps on a serving platter.

  7. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Serve the Waldorf Salad Lettuce Wraps immediately. They can be enjoyed as a light lunch, appetizer, or a healthy snack.

Note:

  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, you can omit the chicken and increase the amount of walnuts for added protein and crunch.

  • Feel free to customize the recipe by adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.

These Waldorf Salad Lettuce Wraps provide a perfect balance of sweetness, crunch, and creaminess. The crisp lettuce leaves add a refreshing element, making them a great option for a light and satisfying meal. Enjoy the vibrant flavors with every bite!
