Waldorf Salad is a crisp and refreshing mix of apples, celery, grapes, and walnuts tossed in a creamy, tangy dressing. Naturally gluten-free and easy to prepare, it’s perfect as a side dish or light lunch.

Ingredients

  • 2 crisp apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji), chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup red or green seedless grapes, halved
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (plus more for dressing)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1–2 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Lettuce leaves, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Chop apples and toss with 1 tbsp lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. In a large bowl, combine apples, celery, grapes, and walnuts.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, yogurt, lemon juice, honey (if using), salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour dressing over the salad and mix until well coated.
  5. Serve chilled, on its own or over lettuce leaves.

Notes

  • Swap grapes with raisins or dried cranberries for a chewier texture.
  • Add cooked chicken or turkey to make it a complete meal.
  • Pecans or almonds can be used instead of walnuts.
  • Add blue cheese crumbles for extra flavor.
  • Use only mayo for a dairy-free version.
