- Step 1: Toast the Walnuts - Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Spread the walnuts in a single layer on a baking sheet and toast them for about 5 minutes or until they are fragrant and lightly golden. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before chopping them roughly.
- Step 2: Prepare the Ingredients - Cube the poached chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Core and chop the red and green apples into small cubes. Slice the celery thinly and chop the parsley.
- Step 3: Combine the Salad Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed chicken, chopped apples, sliced celery, and raisins or grapes. Gently fold these ingredients together.
- Step 4: Make the Dressing - In a separate bowl, mix together the low-fat mayonnaise, fresh lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
- Step 5: Combine Salad and Dressing - Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss everything together until all the ingredients are nicely coated.
- Step 6: Let the Salad Rest - Allow the Chicken Waldorf Salad to rest for about 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Step 7: Prepare the Lettuce Base - Rinse and dry the romaine or gem lettuce leaves thoroughly, then arrange them on a large serving platter.
- Step 8: Serve and Enjoy - Scoop the Chicken Waldorf Salad onto the prepared lettuce leaves and enjoy!

Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container, keeping the salad mix separate from the lettuce to maintain crunch; consume within 3 days for best freshness.
