Chicken salad
Description
Perfect for everyday dining. There are now countless variations of "Waldorf," each more delicious than the last. Let's take a closer look. Despite its relatively minimal ingredient list, the Waldorf salad is far from the simplest to prepare: the intricate balance of flavors from different apple varieties and the careful attention to each ingredient are precisely what have made this dish a modern classic. I'll explain. Garnish as desired and serve.
Instructions

Step 1
Wash and dry the celery stalks. Peel off the skin. Grate the root on a Korean carrot shredder.

Step 2
Boil a chicken leg. I prefer it because the meat from the leg is juicier than breast meat, making it more suitable for a salad. Cut the meat into thin strips.

Grate the green apple on the same grater. Squeeze lemon juice over the apple to prevent it from darkening due to exposure to air.
