Waldorf is a type of salad typically made with meat, fruits (such as apple, grapes) and walnuts. Here I have omitted the nuts and used an allergen free mayo to make the Allergy Friendly Chicken Waldorf Sandwich. I use it as a filling between slices gluten free bread to make a sandwich.

I use the Red Delicious Apple with the peel and both red and green grapes, to give it a sweet and crispy texture and color. It is ideal for school lunch or an after school snack.

For a long time I have been searching for a mayonnaise that is free of allergens that my kids cant eat. Usually the mayo available on the market will contain either one - eggs or vinegar or both. I have to usually make it at home or give it up altogether as its usually a disaster when made at home :).

So how did I end up making these sandwiches which are allergy friendly? Thanks to my cousins, they found this brand for me, when they made some food for us. This brand is both egg and vinegar free. The brand is Chippa May-O.

Pakistani Spicy Chickpea Salad or Chana Chaat as it is called, is allergy friendly and delicious. Usually served along with tea as a tea snack. It can also be served as a side with dinner or eaten all on its own.

There are a lot of variations to this dish but as usual I have adapted it to our dietary requirements. This dish requires minimum cooking and comes together in less than an hour.

These two ingredients make a world of difference on how your salad will taste. You can make both at home or use store bought. In this recipe I use store bought. Both of these are available at any Indian stores or in the international section of the grocery stores.
