Waldorf Chicken Salad Sandwiches

Generally, Waldorf salad is made with apples, grapes, celery, walnuts, and tons of mayonnaise... Well I have taken the classic Waldorf salad, lightened it up and made it into chicken salad. This chicken salad is light, refreshing, and packed with lots of flavor. Great for lunch or dinner on a hot summer day.

3 lbs. cooked chicken breasts, cubed or shredded
1 large Gala or Fuji apple, cubed
1 cup red grapes, sliced in half
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup chopped, toasted walnuts
1 tbs. finely chopped tarragon
1/4 cup finely chopped chives
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Fresh baby arugula or romaine lettuce to top the chicken salad
4 toasted Kaiser rolls for serving

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, apples, grapes, dried cranberries, walnuts, tarragon, chives, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Mix until well combined. Serve on the toasted Kaiser rolls with arugula and enjoy!
