Lascaux Chicken Waldorf Salad

What makes it Lascaux? That’s just a fun reference to the site of a cave in France that contains Paleolithic wall drawing and paintings. What makes it Waldorf? Crisp apples, sweet grapes, hearty celery, and crunchy walnuts, bathed in a mayonnaise-based dressing that’s Paleo-friendly of course! This classic salad is both sweet and savory and comes with the bonus of being packed with nutrition. It’s best served shortly after being prepared.
