Waldorf Salad

I was searching in my fridge this morning for dinner ideas and came across this left over chicken. I decided to make a Waldorf Salad with it. I also ended up making a risotto too. I love risotto but I rarely make it. It isn't hard, just takes a little time. It turned out pretty good. Here's the recipe for the salad...

Chicken Waldorf Salad

2 cups shredded leftover chicken (or turkey)
2 stalks celery, sliced
2 crisp apples (like Gala or Macintosh) cored and chopped
1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
1/2 cup pecans, toasted and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup non fat yogurt
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp dijon mustard (more if you like)
1 tsp honey (or agave)
1/4 tsp salt
fresh ground pepper

In a large bowl combine the chicken, celery, apples, grapes, and pecan. In a smaller bowl combine the yogurt, mayo, honey, dijon (start with the tsp of mustard, add more if you like), and salt Whisk until well combined. Add dressing to salad and toss to evenly coat. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
