Classic Waldorf Salad Ingredients
- Apples: Crisp, tart apples are best here. My favorite are Grannysmith and Honeycrisp.
- Pineapple: I prefer canned pineapple over fresh (which is very unlike me!)
- Celery
- Walnuts: Throw some whole walnuts in a Ziplock and pound them with a mallet. That's what I do. (And yes, it's stress relief).
- Raisins: I like the golden raisins because they give it a pretty color.
- Mayonnaise: I'm a Hellman's girl. What can I say.
- Lemon: Only a tiny squeeze of fresh lemon to prevent the apples from browning.
A full ingredient list with exact measurements can be found in the recipe card below.
Substitutions & Variations
- Dried Fruit: Regular raisins or Craisins would be a good substitute.
- Nuts: Pecans would work here, too.
- Add-Ins: Try adding grapes or whipped cream. Have a sweet tooth? Just a pinch sugar then (if you keep it hush).
- Turn this recipe into a fun Waldorf Snack for kids.
