Waldorf Salad Recipe

This quick and easy Waldorf Salad plays on the original recipe from a 1890s charity ball in New York. With a few extra frivolities like grapes and feta-toasted walnuts, it takes the original apple, celery, and mayonnaise recipe to a whole new level!

Prep Time: 30 Mins

Cook Time: 5 Mins

Difficulty: Easy

Serves: 2 people

Ingredients

  • Apples - 3

  • Celery - 1 head / bunch

  • Grapes - 10 to 15

  • Walnuts - 50g

  • Feta - 25g

  • Mayonnaise - 3 tbsp

  • Mustard - 1 tbsp

  • Lemon Juice - 1 tbsp

  • Cider or White Wine Vinegar - 1 tsbp

Method

Waldorf Salad Step One - Mayonnaise

Mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, cider vinegar, and a little salt and pepper.

 

Waldorf Salad Step Two - Feta-Toasted Walnuts

In a non-stick frying pan, heat the walnuts and feta over a low-medium heat, until the cheese sticks to the walnuts and goes golden brown.

 

Waldorf Salad Step Three - Waldorf Mix

Using a mandolin or sharp knife thinly slice the apples and celery into matchsticks, stirring each batch into the mayonnaise as you go (it’ll keep the apples from discolouring).

Reserve a couple of complete slices of apple to serve.

 

Waldorf Salad Step Four - Waldorf Salad

To serve, place a circle of the Waldorf Salad mix in the middle of the place and top with a slice of apple. Scatter the grapes (halved) and walnuts over the plate and top with a little of the sauce left over from the Waldorf mix.

And that’s it, hope you enjoy!
