Waldorf Salad
A classic American salad often served on Thanksgiving
Ingredients
- 2 large apples a mix of sweet and tart, like Honeycrisp and Granny Smith, cored and diced
- 1 cup red seedless grapes halved
- 1 cup celery thinly sliced
- ½ cup walnuts roughly chopped and lightly toasted
- ½ cup mayonnaise or half mayo and half Greek yogurt for a lighter version
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice to prevent the apples from browning and add brightness
- 1 tablespoon honey optional, for a touch of sweetness
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine the diced apples, halved grapes, sliced celery, and toasted walnuts in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey (if using), salt, and pepper in a separate small bowl.
- Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and toss until all ingredients are well-coated.
- Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more lemon juice or salt if needed.
- Chill the salad for about 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
