Ingredients

1¼ cups mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
4 cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken
1½ cups small chopped Gala apple
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
1/2 cup thinly sliced celery

Steps:

Combine all creamy dressing ingredients into a small mixing bowl. Stir with a wire whisk until combined, creamy, and smooth. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken, apple, walnuts, green onion, and celery. Pour the creamy dressing over it and mix well until everything is combined and coated in the dressing.
This chicken salad can be served right away, but for best results and flavor let it refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving.Serve chicken salad inside croissants with green leaf lettuce. You can also serve inside sandwich bread or rolls.
Leftovers keep well, in an air-tight container, in the fridge for 3-4 days. Thanks to the acid in the dressing, the apples actually don't brown!
