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:
Prepare the Waldorf Salad Filling:
In a large bowl, combine the diced chicken, halved grapes, chopped celery, diced apple, and chopped walnuts.
Make the Dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Combine Dressing with Salad:
Pour the dressing over the Waldorf Salad filling and gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Assemble the Lettuce Wraps:
Take a large lettuce leaf, spoon a generous portion of the Waldorf Salad filling onto the center of the leaf.
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.
Repeat and Arrange:
Repeat the process with the remaining lettuce leaves and salad filling, arranging the wraps on a serving platter.
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!
