East Coast Chicken Salad

I'm talking East Coast USA.  I thought naming the continent would be prudent.  The salad is along the lines of a classic Waldorf (as in the hotel, Waldorf Astoria).

I went close up on the pic.   There's cooked chicken, almonds, apple, celery, dill, spring onions and a mayonnaise based dressing.

Wait, what, no grapes?  Halved seedless grapes could absolutely go in.

Uh ho, I just thought, we're sharing another salad with meat.  Joking apart, I'm not sure what happens with this salad but somehow the ingredients and dressing combine beautifully.

Ingredients (2):

Salad Ingredients:

2, skin on chicken breasts, cooked, cooled and diced.  (Simply add a drizzle of oil, salt and pepper and pan fry or griddle gently until cooked through)

2 stalks of celery, sliced fairly thin, around 0.5 cm (no one is measuring)

2 small apples, cored and diced

50g almonds, whole and blanched (skin removed, I tend to buy them this way)

3 spring onion, fairly finely sliced

Optional:

1 cup of halved grapes

4 leaves of crunchy lettuce, shredded

Salad Dressing:

2 TBSP good mayonnaise

2 TBSP sour cream

1/2 TBSP fresh lemon juice

1/2 tsp dijon mustard

1 TBSP chopped fresh dill

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

Method:

Tip: 

If you omit the lettuce this stores well in the fridge for a few hours.
