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.
