Ingredients
Scale
Apples:
- 2–3 medium crisp apples (I use a Granny Smith and Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to prevent browning of apples)
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cup red seedless grapes, halved
- 1 cup celery, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup toasted walnuts or pecans, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lettuce leaves (traditionally iceberg, but any type works)
Instructions
- Peel and dice the apples: Toss the apples and lemon juice in a large bowl.
- Add the grapes, celery, and nuts: If desired, add raisins at this point.
- Mix the dressing: In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, sugar, salt, and pepper.
- Combine everything: Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and gently stir to coat.
- Chill: Refrigerate the salad for 30-60 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Serve: Enjoy the Waldorf salad on a bed of lettuce leaves.
