Waldorf Salad is a classic and refreshing dish that beautifully combines sweet and savory flavors. This iconic salad features a crisp mix of apples and celery, complemented by the crunch of walnuts and the sweetness of grapes. All of this is bound together with a creamy mayonnaise-based dressing, often with a hint of lemon juice for brightness. Waldorf Salad is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a light lunch, a side dish, or even served on crisp lettuce cups for an elegant appetizer.
