Chicken salad, of late, has been making the rounds on the web,
but not just your average chicken salad, this year‘s trend seems to be toward
making Waldorf chicken salad, based upon celery, nut, and apple Waldorf salad
that began at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York City in 1896. Because I
tend to like fruit in chicken salad (An old family friend once served me
chicken salad with bananas in it, and it was delicious! (I should have asked
for the recipe.)), this one is right up my alley. What makes it special though
is the dressing that is equal parts mayonnaise and honey mustard. I am sold on
honey mustard. I had never bought a bottle of it before I made this, and now it
is going to be a staple in my home. You might be wise to buy a bottle yourself,
because I am going to be using it in as many future recipes as I see fit.

I love the combo of apples and walnuts in chicken salad, but I have never added grapes. I wasn't following a recipe, just wingin' it. I do love the idea of adding the honey mustard. Yum yum, I need to make this for my weekend lunch!
Now that is a combo I would really like, and the dressing sounds luscious. Bananas? Wow, I am trying to imagine that.
I loooove honey mustard and always have it on hand!
I will make this. Thank you for sharing!
I made this and it is delicious! Love the honey mustard with the mayo. Thanks for another yummy recipe!
