Chicken Waldorf Salad

We needed a fast, light, refreshing, and cool dinner the other night. Mmm, mmm. I love me this salad! We had ours with pita bread, but you could have it with just about anything. This salad comes together really quickly, especially if you use leftover chicken.

Chicken Waldorf Salad 

    1 medium apple, unpeeled, chopped
    Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
    2 cups diced cooked chicken (about 1 large breast)
    1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
    1 stalk celery, finely chopped
    1/4 cup craisins
    1/2 cup toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped
    1/4 - 1/2 c. red onion, chopped
   
Dressing:

    3/4 cup yogurt (preferably Greek non-fat)
    Juice of 1/2 orange (about 1/4 cup)
    1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
    Paprika, to taste

Mix the ingredients for the salad, set aside. Mix the ingredients for the dressing, add to salad. Chill. Voilà! You have a nice, cool, refreshing salad! Serve with pretty much anything. :)
