Classic Waldorf Salad

greek yogurt (dairy

mayonnaise

lemon juice

honey

green apples (diced)

celery

grapes (halved)

walnuts

parsley

salt

butter lettuce leaves

Stir

Make dressing. In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and honey. Set aside.

Toss

Toss it all together. In a large bowl, add the green apples, celery, grapes, walnuts, parsley, salt, and mayo dressing. Stir it all together until everything is evenly coated.

I used sour cream instead of yogurt, because that's what I had, and other recipes call for it.  I omitted the salt and parsley.  Pretty good, but I would reduce the amount of dressing, because it overpowers the rest of the ingredients.  As a dinner salad, I also think it might benefit from crubled blue cheese or a sharp cheddar.

I added green &amp;  red grapes, as well as the celery, green apples, and the remaining ingredients! So easy!!! Made. It with a side dish for baked haddock &amp; rice! Everyone said it was delicious! Thank you so much! Lisa

Super yummy as usual! 
Didn't have any grapes so skipped those, but I think it had the right level of sweetness nonetheless.
Can't wait to try it with some form of protein (I think your shredded chicken would go fantastic with it!).

Hi Lisa,

Oh, I loved this recipe!

Loved the way that you changed the sugar for honey (all hail the honey bees). I changed the mayo to the light version and the Greek yogurt to the zero % fat (or strained) version.

As I don't like Granny Smiths, I used two regular organic apples and added an extra tablespoon of lemon juice for that necessary zip and zing.

I had the Waldorf Salad on the side with some baby potatoes jacketed (with wee dots of half fat butter), steamed Tenderstem™ broccoli, and a lightly seasoned turkey stake. The absolute business.

Thank you for the receipe and the inspiration, Hon.🦋☀️🧡

I found this Waldorf salad recipe before Thanksgiving, and it was a hit at the family gathering. I have made it three times since then, and it was a hit each time. When others ask me for the recipe, they easily remember Downshiftology. When I told my sister where I got the recipe, I found out that she also goes to Downshiftology for recipes. So now it’s a family thing.

I have made this Waldorf salad twice now. The first time, exactly as written, and it was delicious. The 2nd time I forgot to purchase fresh parsley and couldn't find red grapes so used green ones and dried parsley instead, and it was still really delicious. It was a big hit at our Thanksgiving table this year!

Took the words right out of my mouth! I love a recipe you can prep ahead. Haven't made this in years, so thanks fir rhe reminder and inspiration!
I used my favorite , MacIntosh.
This is delicious!!

There's a reason why this Waldorf salad belongs on every holiday dinner table. It's a symphony of crisp apples, celery, grapes, and crunchy walnuts, tossed in a tangy-sweet, creamy dressing that adds the perfect refreshing touch.

Created in the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York (during the 1800's), the original recipe was made up of only apples, celery, and mayo. This simple combo lived on for quite some time. But as usual, adaptations are made as time goes on. 

In the video I'll show you how to make my version of the classic Waldorf salad that includes additional grapes, toasted nuts, and fresh herbs, with a touch of lemon and honey to the dressing. It's delicious! And for extra protein, I'll show you how to make a chicken Waldorf salad. This is a great "full meal" salad. So many options!
