Ingredients
  

  • 2 large apples cored and diced (use crisp, sweet varieties like Gala or Fuji)
  • 1 cup celery thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup seedless grapes halved
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lettuce leaves

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, sliced celery, halved grapes, and chopped walnuts.
  • In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and honey until well combined.
  • Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
  • Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
  • Refrigerate the Waldorf Salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and chill.
