Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 juicy red apples
1/2 c macadamia nuts, chopped
2 Tbsp dried cranberries
8 oz pineapple tidbits, drained (reserve 4 Tbsp juice)
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 c shredded coconut

  • 3. In a mixing bowl, whip together cream cheese and 4 Tbsp pineapple juice.
  • 4. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the fruit and stir until combined.
  • 5. I like to present the Waldorf Salad in 20-25 decorative spoons but you can also use small bowls and serve 8-10 people as a side dish.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I often add in whatever I have on hand, such as grapes, berries, or melon.

This tropical Waldorf salad was a hit at my last party! The combination of sweet pineapple, crunchy walnuts, and creamy coconut is a perfect balance of flavors.
