How To Make Waldorf Salad​

Recipe Tips

• Use Crisp Apples: Make sure to choose firm and crisp apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for the best texture. Soft apples may become mushy and affect the salad’s crunch.
• Toast Walnuts for Extra Flavor: To bring out the best flavor in the walnuts, toast them in a pan for a few minutes until golden. This small step will add a nice crunch and rich taste.
• Adjust the Lemon Juice: Taste your salad after mixing in the lemon juice, and feel free to add more if you want a stronger citrus flavor. The right amount of lemon makes the salad feel fresh and bright.
• Chill Before Serving: Let the salad chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together and gives you a refreshing, cool salad.
• Don’t Skip the Lettuce: Serving the salad on fresh lettuce leaves adds a nice layer of texture and a bit of greenery. It also makes the salad look more elegant and appealing.
