Apple Waldorf Salad Recipe
A crunchy, creamy salad packed with apples, walnuts, grapes, and celery, tossed in a smooth, slightly tangy dressing.
Ingredients
- Chop with Purpose: Dice apples and celery into even pieces. Halve the grapes to avoid any awkward oversized bites.
- Toast Like You Mean It: Lightly toast the walnuts in a dry pan. Let them cool before tossing them in.
- Whisk the Dressing: Combine mayo or Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, and salt in a bowl. Stir until smooth.
- Mix It All Up: In a large bowl add apples, grapes, celery, and walnuts. Pour in the dressing and toss gently.
- Serve & Enjoy: Scoop onto lettuce leaves or straight into bowls. Chill for 30 minutes for an even better taste.
