Replying to @Sarah Classic Waldorf Chicken Salad Recipe: I used 2 large chicken breasts, seasoned with salt and pepper, and baked until they reached an internal temp of 165°F. Shredded them in a stand mixer, then added: • ~2 cups of mayo (adjust as needed—my chicken breasts were big) • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped • 1 large shallot, finely chopped • 1 Honeycrisp apple, diced small • ~1 cup purple grapes, quartered • ~½ cup toasted walnuts, chopped • 3 tbsp freshly chopped tarragon • 1 tbsp Dijon • Salt + pepper to taste Mix everything together and store in an airtight container. I’ve been serving it on toasted croissants with crisp butter lettuce—so good all week.
homemade cheez-it’s 🧀. • 8 oz sharp cheddar, shredded • 4 oz all-purpose flour (about 1 cup) • 4 tbsp salted butter, cold and cubed • 4 tbsp ice water • Flaky sea salt, for topping Start by blending the shredded cheddar in a food processor until it breaks down into fine crumbs. Then add the flour, cold butter, and ice water all at once, and blend until a dough ball forms. If it still looks dry or crumbly, add another splash of water. Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours (or overnight). This makes it easier to roll out and helps the crackers hold their shape while baking. Once chilled, roll the dough out between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking. You want it thin—about 1/8 inch. Peel off the top sheet, then cut into squares. Poke a small hole in the center of each square (a chopstick works great) and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Transfer the parchment to a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for 10–12 minutes, until golden and crisp. Let cool completely—they get crunchier as they cool. #cheezit #recipeideas #snackideas #EasyRecipes #foodprep
