When I think of Waldorf Salad I conjure up chopped apples, walnuts, celery and mayo Dijon dressing. Waldorf Salad was very popular with my parents and her parents generations but today with the focus on utilizing fresh untainted vegetables and fruits I was delighted to try this modern take on chicken Waldorf salad from Salon DeVille Day Spa.

1 head leafy green lettuce, torn into bite sized pieces
1 cup cooked chicken, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 tart apple, chopped
1 small cucumber, sliced
Raisins
White chocolate chips
Croutons
Walnuts
Toss together. Serve with a honey mustard vinaigrette.
