Waldorf Salad Recipe
Description
Waldorf Salad Recipe layers fresh spring mix greens with cooked, chopped chicken, apple pieces, halved grapes, celery chunks, blue cheese crumbles, and walnuts. The combination offers a balance of tender, crisp, juicy, and crunchy textures along with savory and slightly sweet flavor notes. The poppyseed dressing—made from mayonnaise, milk, sugar, apple cider vinegar, poppy seeds, mustard powder, and garlic powder—adds a creamy and tangy element that complements the fresh ingredients.
The salad is tossed right before serving to maintain the crispness of the vegetables and fruit. It works well as a light main dish or side salad, providing a mix of protein, fruit, nuts, and greens for a balanced bite. The blue cheese adds a mild sharpness that contrasts with the sweetness of the fruit and the creamy dressing.
For best results, prepare the dressing ahead but combine it with the salad ingredients at serving time to prevent sogginess. This ensures the salad stays fresh and crisp with distinct flavors and textures intact.
