    • ½ cup Sir Kensington's mayonnaise

    • Salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions

    • Remove the chicken from the bones. Discard the skin and bones.
    • Dice the meat into bite-sized pieces and place in a large mixing bowl.
    • Add the oil and vinegar dressing and toss well.
    • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard and red wine vinegar. Add salt and pepper to your taste.
    • Add this creamy dressing to the chicken mixture and mix well.
    • Core apples (leaving the skin on) and cut into small pieces. Add to the chicken and toss to mix well.
    • Add the chopped walnuts and 2 Tablespoons chopped parsley. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
    • Line a serving dish with the largest leaves from the butter lettuce. Spoon the Chicken Salad on top of the leaves. Sprinkle with the remaining parsley and garnish with the walnut halves.

    Notes

    Gr8 Do-Ahead Tip:
    Make this through Step 5 up to 24 hours ahead of time. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Continue with Step 6 and finish the salad up to 3 hours in advance of serving. Be sure to refrigerate if not serving right away.
