Classic Waldorf Salad
Ingredients:
For the Salad:
2 cups diced crisp apples e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp
1 cup diced celery
cup halved seedless grapes red or green
cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons raisins optional
For the Dressing:
cup mayonnaise or Greek yogurt for a lighter option
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey optional, for added sweetness
Pinch of salt
Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Optional Garnish:
Lettuce leaves for serving
Additional walnut pieces for topping
Directions:
Prepare the Ingredients: Core and dice the apples into bite-sized pieces, keeping the skin on for color and texture. Dice the celery and halve the grapes. If using, soak the raisins in warm water for 10 minutes to plump them, then drain.
Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey if using, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Combine the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the apples, celery, grapes, walnuts, and raisins if using. Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve: Serve the Waldorf salad over a bed of lettuce leaves for a classic presentation, and garnish with extra walnuts if desired.
