I made chicken stock yesterday with a family size package of wings that I roasted first, and then simmered. So...what to do with the meat - which already has a slight celery flavor from being boiled with the stock? Make my version of a retro Waldorf Salad since I had red seedless grapes to use up and a bowl of fresh, fall apples from the Farmer's Market on the counter.
