Ingredients

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup walnuts toasted
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 2 green apples diced medium
  • 1 cup white seedless grapes halved
  • ½ iceberg lettuce head leaves separated
  • ½ teaspoon salt optional
  • Juice of one lemon

Instructions

  • Chop the apples, celery, and grapes into bite-size pieces and roughly chop the walnuts.
  • Add all the ingredients of the salad, except lettuce leaves to a salad bowl.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl to make the Waldorf salad dressing.
  • Pour the dressing over the apples, celery, grapes, and walnuts. Toss to coat.
  • When ready to serve, place a few lettuce leaves on the bottom of the bowls. Divide the apple mixture evenly between the four bowl.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • To store leftovers from this recipe, place in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. 
  • Adjust the dressing to your liking by slowly adding in a teaspoon of lemon juice at a time to your recipe, stirring and taste testing before adding more until it has the perfect flavor. 
  • Make sure to peel your celery and remove any of the stringy parts before chopping up for your salad to make it easier to eat. 
  • I personally like green apples for this apple salad because of their more bitter taste, but you can combine a mixture of apples for a sweet taste.
