This Waldorf salad is different; it has pears in it. This is new to me and the dish is delish. It's more of a dessert than a sandwich spread. These are the salads I love to snack on.

Categories     Apple

Time 25m

Yield 13 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 large apples, unpeeled and cut into large chunks (Red Delicious works well)
3 large firm ripe pears, peeled and cut into large chunks (Bartlett is good)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 medium celery ribs, cut crosswise into thin slices
1/3 cup whipping cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 medium bananas, cut into thin slices
lettuce leaf, for serving
1 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss apples and pears with lemon juice. Add celery, cream, mayo, and salt; toss to coat.
  • If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate up to 6 hours.
  • To serve, gently stir bananas into fruit mixture. Arrange lettuce leaves on a large platter or line a pretty bowl. Spoon salad onto lettuce and sprinkle with nuts.
  • If desired, place one lettuce leaf on each individual plate and spoon salad onto lettuce leaf and garnish with nuts.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, crispy apples. Choose a variety that is sweet and firm, such as Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Pink Lady.
  • Dice the apples and celery into small, even pieces. This will help them to cook evenly and absorb the dressing.
  • Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant. This will bring out their flavor and make them crunchy.
  • Use mayonnaise and sour cream in equal amounts. This will create a creamy, flavorful dressing that is not too heavy.
  • Add a little bit of lemon juice to the dressing. This will help to brighten the flavors and prevent the salad from becoming too bland.
  • Garnish the salad with fresh parsley or chives. This will add a pop of color and freshness.

Conclusion:

Creamy Waldorf salad is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet and savory flavors, creamy texture, and crunchy walnuts, it is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
