The salad was good, but it wasn't anything special. I probably won't make it again.

The dressing was too thick. I had to add some milk to thin it out.

The salad was a bit bland. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar in the dressing next time.

I'm not a huge fan of walnuts, but they really work well in this salad. They add a nice nutty flavor.

I've made this salad several times and it's always a hit. I like to add a little extra celery for crunch and sometimes I'll use dried cranberries instead of raisins.

Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect! The salad was creamy and flavorful, with just the right amount of sweetness from the raisins and crunch from the walnuts.

Easy to make and delicious! I used a pre-made whipped cream dressing to save time, and it turned out great. The salad was a refreshing and light side dish for our summer BBQ.

I'm not usually a fan of Waldorf salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The dressing was light and tangy, and the toasted walnuts added a nice nutty flavor. Will definitely make this again!
