How to Make Wenatchee Salad (Like a Waldorf)
- Pour the cold water into a medium bowl, and mix in the 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Add the diced fruit and allow to stand briefly. This keeps the fruit from browning.
- In a large bowl, mix the chicken, celery, walnuts and dried cranberries.
- Drain and add the diced apples, mixing well.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, 2 tablespoons lemon juice and parsley.
- Add to the chicken mixture and gently toss to coat.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill thoroughly before serving.
- To serve place some lettuce leaves on each plate on top with salad.
