CHICKEN-APPLE-WALNUT SALAD WITH HONEY MUSTARD DRESSING
Served at the 1870 Wedgwood Inn in New Hope Boro, Pennsylvania, this simple chicken salad combines common ingredients in a less-than-common way, and with great results. If you happen to have some cooked chicken in your fridge (or perhaps a rotisserie chicken), you could probably save time by simply shredding that and using it instead of the freshly cooked diced chicken. NOTE: Cook time is chill time for the prepared salad.

OLD FASHIONED APPLE SALAD WITH COOKED DRESSING
This was my grandmother's recipe, passed down from her mother. The cooked dressing is so fantastic that it is hard to save some for the apple salad once you taste it. It is similar to a lightly sweetened lemon curd. Scrumptious! Grapes or raisins can be added also.

Steps:
- Combine all the dressing ingredients in a saucepan (sometimes I add the raisins in also, so they plump up before they go into the salad).
- Cook over low/medium low heat, while stirring constantly, until thickened and somewhat gloppy.
- Allow to cool (I put it in a bowl and stick it in the freezer for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally).
- Mix together the salad ingredients (don't forget to toss in some extra lemon juice to keep the apples from browning).
- Pour the dressing over the salad and stir together (the dressing is a little gluey, so you will have to work it into the salad).
