Curried Waldorf Salad image

Try this version this year instead of the traditional Thanksgiving salad. The original Waldorf salad combined celery, apples, and mayonnaise. Gradually walnuts and raisins were added to the mix. This version is not made with the gloppy mayonnaise we associate with Waldorf salad, but it has the same sweet, savory and crunchy mixture of celery, apples, raisins, and walnuts. Slice the apples and celery thin for a more elegant salad.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. I often make it the night before and it's even better the next day.

I found the instructions a bit confusing. I think they could be written more clearly.

This salad was a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll use less honey next time.
