The Waldorf salad is a real treat. This salad is crunchy and sweet at the same time, with crisp apples and crunchy celery and nuts, and the grapes provide lovely sweetness. Just a little chopping, then mix everything together and it’s ready! Yay! This recipe is a vegan version of the classic Waldorf salad, as I used a vegan dressing. Perfect for any time of the year. 😊
YOU’LL NEED
Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make this recipe:
*Lettuce: I used Romaine lettuce in this recipe but use any you like and available in your local shop or market.
*Apples: Gala or Granny Smith works well, but feel free to use your favourite apple, they add a nice texture to this recipe.
*Celery: a crunchy and tasty addition.
*Grapes: red or white, they’ll give your salad a lovely sweetness.
*Walnuts: walnuts give a great texture to your salad. It isn’t a Waldorf without them!
*Mayonnaise: I used vegan mayo, you can substitute it with plain yogurt if you prefer.
*Lemon juice: lemon juice prevents the apples from browning also works well with the mayo as dressing.

Let’s see a few tips and topping ideas to increase taste and nutrition:
*Roast the walnuts if you prefer, in the oven or in a frying pan until fragrant.
*Mayonnaise: you can substitute it with yogurt.
*Try this salad with raisins, and various nuts, if you prefer.
