NOTES
1. Chicken breast - A lean cut of meat. By poaching the chicken breast, it cooks without drying out. You can also replace the chicken breast with, for example, salmon or omit it.
2. Apple - A fresh accent as a counterpart to the celery. A somewhat sour apple, such as a Granny Smith or Jonagold, goes well with this Waldorf salad.
3. Pistachios - Use unshelled (or peeled beforehand) nuts for this recipe.
4. Raisins - The raisins provide a little sweetness in this salad. You can also replace them with currants.
5. Yogurt - Instead of mayonnaise, use yogurt for the dressing. That's a bit slimmer. Use a full-fat yogurt or Greek yogurt, which is a bit creamier.
