It is a refreshing and crunchy salad that combines crisp apples, celery, and toasted walnuts with a creamy dressing made from mayonnaise and a touch of lemon juice.This salad is a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors and is a great side dish for any meal or a light and healthy lunch option. It's easy to make and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser at your next gathering or family dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 cups diced tart apples, or 2 apples
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 cup diced celery
- ½ cup toasted walnuts or pecans, roughly chopped
- ½ cup whipping cream, whipped
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Begin by dicing the apples and placing them in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the sugar and lemon juice over the apples and toss to coat. Then, add in the celery, grapes, and nuts.
- In a separate bowl, whip the whipping cream until peaks form. Gently fold in the mayonnaise and continue mixing until well combined. Next, add this mixture to the apple mixture and fold gently until fully combined. Season with kosher salt and adjust to your liking.
- Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least1 hour or overnight. When ready to serve, simply scoop the Waldorf salad onto a bed of lettuce or enjoy it on its own.
NOTES
- If you don't have whipping cream, you can substitute it with 2 tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt or sour cream for a lighter version of the salad.
