Waldorf(ish) Salad

by

Super easy.  Very tasty.  My mom often made this salad.  A true Waldorf salad contains walnuts.  I use pecans, thus I call it a Waldorf-ish Salad.

Recipe: Waldor(ish) Salad

Ingredients

  • Apples
  • Celery
  • Raisins
  • Seedless Grapes
  • Pecans, roughly chopped
  • Miracle Whip or Mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. Peel and cut apples into bite sized chunks.
  2. Slice celery.
  3. Slice grapes in half.
  4. Place all in a bowl with the raisins and pecans.
  5. Add Miracle Whip or Mayo.
  6. Stir until blended.
  7. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Quick Notes

I used 3 very large Mutzu (Crispin) apples. Normally, I start with 1/2 cup of Miracle Whip to see if it covers the fruit mixture. (I used a little too much in the photo.)
