Smoked Chicken Waldorf Salad (Made with Our Award-Winning Chicken Breast)

A fresh twist on a classic, packed with crunch, flavour, and a whole lot of smoky goodness.

Perfect for a light lunch, a standout starter, or an easy meal-prep option, this Smoked Chicken Waldorf Salad is ready in minutes and full of fresh, springtime energy.

🥇 Made with Our Award-Winning Smoked Chicken
