This Chicken Waldorf Salad Salad Sandwich is hearty, easy to make and perfect to customize. Great for a quick lunch! Highly recommend making the salad in advance to develop the flavours.
Dressing: In a small mixing bowl combine mayo, yogurt, mustard, lemon juice and salt & pepper. Place to one side.
Salad: In a large mixing bowl add chicken and combine with grapes, apple, celery, walnuts and dressing. Stir to combine, then cover and store in the fridge to allow the flavours to develop (as long as you have time for).
Sandwich: Spread 1 side of all your slices of bread with butter. Top half of them with a pinch of watercress, then top with Waldorf salad. Finish with buttered bread, slice in half the enjoy!

Notes
a) Chicken - You can either roast a whole chicken. Or, you can use two large chicken breasts (approx 14oz/400g), season and fry both sides to get a nice colour, then fill up with water or chicken stock, pop a lid on and allow to simmer until cooked throughout. Depending on the size of breasts this could take between 8-12mins. Pop in a bowl and dice.b) Walnuts - You can toast the walnuts, which will add a light smoky flavour. Just lightly toast in a dry frying pan over low-medium heat until fragrant and very slightly charred, shaking frequently. c) Subs and Extras - You can sub the walnuts for Pecans. Crispy bacon is always welcome, as is very finely diced red onion or spring onion. Dried cranberries also go very nicely!d) Calories - Assuming 2 tsp butter per sandwich. Calories for one sandwich:
