my mother and I would sit at the kitchen table and eat our lunch. We would have Waldorf salad. Some days chicken or egg salad. I love them all. My mother has been gone for several years now but the memories of our kitchen talk time will remain with me forever. I cherished those moments. Now that I am older and I eat much better. I decided to take all of my favorites and put them together. I use fresh and low fat items. But you can rest assured that these flavors marry very well. You may want to adjust the salt of pepper to taste. Thank you in advance for looking over my recipe. This one is very special to my heart.

Ingredients
4 ½ lbs potatoes
4 cooked and seasoned boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 large stalks of fresh celery diced small
6 hard boiled eggs
1 1/2 c. Hellmann's light mayo
½ tsp. Celery Salt
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 1/2 tsp. dill weed
1 tsp. fresh parsley for topping
2 tsp. (heaping) Grey Poupon Mustard (Harvest coarse ground)
½ lb. turkey bacon cooked crisp and crumbled or hormel light real bacon crumbles
1 c. shredded Monterey jack and cheddar mix
1 extra large tomato diced small
1 c. walnuts chopped
1 large fresh apple diced small (drizzle with lemon juice)
Directions
Boil potatoes until tender. Let cool about 20 minutes. Skin and peel and dice the potatoes and place in a big bowl Cooks Note: mix salad while the potatoes are slightly warm so the ingredients will marry well. Dice your cooked chicken and add to the potatoes. Add to the potatoes and chicken mixture, diced celery, hard boiled eggs, Hellmann’s mayo, celery salt, kosher salt, pepper, dill weed, Grey poupon mustard, bacon, cheese, tomato, walnuts and apple with lemon juice on it so it does not brown stir very well. Top with fresh parsley and chill at least 4 hours. Over night is so much better. Great for brunch or a single serving meal on the go. This is wonderful anytime.
