Waldorf Salad

Ingredients

• 3 crisp apples such as Honeycrisp or Fuji, cored and diced
• 3 celery stalks, thinly sliced
• 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
• 3/4 cup walnut halves, toasted and broken
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 large lettuce leaves for serving

Before you cook

• Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes and break them into pieces.
• Core and dice the apples into half-inch cubes, leaving the skins on for color.
• Slice the celery thin on a slight angle and halve the grapes.

Steps

1. Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
2. Add the diced apples immediately and toss, since the lemon in the dressing keeps them from browning.
3. Fold in the celery and grapes.
4. Chill the salad for 30 minutes so it is properly cold.
5. Fold in the toasted walnuts just before serving so they stay crunchy.
6. Spoon the salad onto lettuce leaves to serve, the way the Waldorf originally plated it.
