1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
2 cups cooked chicken breasts, diced |
2 small celery ribs, cut into small dice |
1/2 red onion, cut into very small dice |
1/2 green apple, cored and cut into medium dice |
1/3 cup raisins |
salt and pepper, if desired |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, cider vinegar and Dijon mustard to form a dressing.
2. To the bowl, add the chicken, celery, onion, apple and raisins. Toss everything together, taste and adjust the seasoning if desired. Chill before serving.
