Keyword: Waldorf Salad Recipe
Servings: 4
- 2 apples (I used Honeycrisp) chopped
- 2 sticks celery chopped small
- 1 cup red seedless grapes cut into halves
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice + zest of 1/2 lemon
- Salt & pepper to taste
Add the dressing ingredients (mayo, sugar, lemon juice and zest) to a small bowl and stir together. Set aside.
Prep the remaining ingredients and add them to a salad bowl as you go along.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss. Give it a taste and season with salt & pepper as needed (I'm generous with both).
- If you're eating it as a main course without much else, it'll serve 2. Or 4-6 as a side.
- This salad is pretty flexible. Feel free to add more/less of an ingredient to suit your preferences.
- If you don't own a zester, you can leave out the lemon zest, but it does add a nice pop of freshness.
