Waldorf Salad

This updated Waldorf Salad recipe has all the classic components (apples, celery, grapes, and walnuts) but a modern mayonnaise dressing that is lightened with whipped cream. It’s a tasty blast from the past that makes an excellent party salad.

Ingredients :
  • 2 tart apples such as Granny Smith, cored and diced
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 to 3 celery ribs diced
  • 1 cup grapes halved
  • 1 cup toasted walnuts or pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream or half-and-half, cold
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • Salt
Directions :
  1. To a large mixing bowl, add the diced apples and sprinkle with the sugar and lemon juice. Toss to coat. Add the celery, grapes, and nuts.
  2. In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer on medium speed, or by hand in a large bowl, whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Using a spatula, fold in the mayonnaise.
  3. Gently fold into the apple mixture and season to taste with salt (I like ½ teaspoon). Chill at least 1 hour or overnight.
