WONDERFUL WALDORF SALAD
This is a great fall salad. So easy and I always get recipe requests. I think the original was from Alton Brown, but I changed a few things. This is great for Thanksgiving or other harvest party. It also travels well for a fall picnic or pot luck. The recipe calls for golden raisins but I like the black ones. I think the contrast is nicer too. Add some left over grilled chicken for a great meal. I always eat the leftover (if there is any) from Thanksgiving with left over turkey mixed in for lunch the next day. Cooking time is chill time.

SIMPLY WONDERFUL WALDORF SALAD
Love this fresh version of the waldorf salad you use cream cheese and orange juice instead of mayo. I got this one from my Mom over 18 years ago, not sure where she got it. My boys will even eat this one.

Steps:
- Combine cream cheese, orange juice, orange rind, and sugar mix until well blended. Add apples, celery and pecans and mix lightly then chill.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the salad will be. Look for crisp apples, crunchy celery, and flavorful walnuts.
- Don't overdress the salad: A little mayonnaise or yogurt goes a long way. Too much dressing will weigh down the salad and make it soggy.
- Serve the salad immediately: Waldorf salad is best when served fresh. The apples and celery will start to brown if they sit for too long.
- Get creative with your ingredients: There are many different ways to make Waldorf salad. Try adding different fruits, nuts, or cheeses. You can also use different dressings, such as a vinaigrette or a honey mustard dressing.
Conclusion:
Waldorf salad is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is light, refreshing, and flavorful. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, Waldorf salad is a great choice for a quick and healthy meal.
