A classic Waldorf Salad that combines crisp apples, celery, grapes, and walnuts with a creamy dressing, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups crisp apples, cored and diced (about 2–3 medium; Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith)
  • 1 cup celery, thinly sliced
  • 1.5 cups seedless grapes, halved (red or a mix of red and green)
  • 3/4 cup walnuts, lightly toasted and chopped
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (or use all mayo for classic style)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey (to taste)
  • 1.5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional but bright)
  • Lettuce leaves, for serving (Boston, romaine, or little gem)

Instructions

  1. Prep the produce. Dice the apples and toss them with the lemon juice in a large bowl to prevent browning.
  2. Slice the celery and halve the grapes. Add them to the apples.
  3. Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until fragrant. Cool, then chop and add to the bowl.
  4. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Pour the dressing over the salad and fold gently to coat. Stir in chopped parsley.
  6. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to let flavors blend and the dressing set.
  7. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or lemon. Serve on crisp lettuce leaves and top with a few extra walnuts for crunch.

Notes

For best texture, keep walnuts separate and add just before serving. You can make the dressing and prep the produce a few hours ahead of serving.
