Waldorf Salad
The Waldorf salad is another one of those odd salads that aren't a salad at all. It is typically a mixture of apples, celery, and mayo, sometimes with walnuts. As the story goes, it was first created by the maître d' at the Waldorf-Astoria, hence the name. The sweet, crunchy, nutty mixture is the perfect blend of flavors; add less mayo and some avocado to up your healthy fats.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups spring mix salad
- 2 cups chicken chopped and cooked
- 1/2 cup grapes
- 1 apple
- 2 stalks celery
- 1/4 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 1/4 cup walnuts chopped
- poppyseed dressing
Instructions:
- Add the salad mix to a medium bowl. Cut the grapes in half, and chop the apples and celery into chunks. Add the chicken, grapes, apple, celery, blue cheese, and walnuts to the bowl.
- Drizzle with the poppyseed dressing, and toss to combine. Serve immediately.
NOTE: If making the salad in advance, add the dressing just before serving.
