Classic Waldorf Salad Recipe

By Amna Malik

Ingredients

  • 2 cups apples (red or green, diced, skin on)
  • 1 cup seedless grapes (halved)
  • 1 cup celery (thinly sliced)
  • ½ cup walnuts (toasted, roughly chopped)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for lighter option)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional, for sweetness)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Lettuce leaves (for serving, optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine apples, grapes, celery, and walnuts.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, and honey until smooth.
  3. Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and toss gently until evenly coated.
  4. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let flavors blend.
  6. Serve on a bed of crisp lettuce leaves or as a side dish.

Would you like me to make this traditional style only, or should I also add a modern twist version (like with yogurt, cranberries, or chicken)?
