The Waldorf Chicken Salad Wrap

I love Waldorf chicken salad – it’s really the perfect summer food. Full of fruit, it’s ridiculously delicious and light. For this recipe I used Greek yogurt as a dressing to keep things on the lighter side. If you want a bit more flavor you can substitute ½ cup of the yogurt with mayonnaise and give it some extra richness.

This wrap is perfect picnic fare or great for a nice lunch on your back patio. If you’re going for low carbs, just put a heaping scoop directly on the arugula and watercress with some field greens and skip the wrap. This chicken salad is so flavorful, it’s guaranteed to impress.
