Take-out Tuesday, Modern Waldorf Salad
Today’s recipe is an updated version of an old classic,
Waldorf Salad
Waldorf Salad was created for a special event held at the famous Waldorf-Astoria NYC hotel in 1896
Originally it was just apples, celery and mayonnaise, but over the years, nuts and grapes came to be standard ingredients also
Since I was only making a small amount of salad, I made it even easier by using washed grapes from the grocery store salad bar, and packaged fresh apple slices and celery sticks from the produce department
With a few chops the fruit and celery were ready to be dressed with healthy vanilla bean 2% Greek yogurt
Walnuts are the traditional nut in this salad, but I opted for pecans
Add as much yogurt as you like, stir, and refrigerate
Serve salad on a bed of lettuce or spinach leaves
Next time I’m going to try it with lemon yogurt!

I like the idea of serving it on spinach leaves Jenna… I’ve been craving spinach lately:@)
Jenna, I love Waldorf salad. My beloved Mother made it often and I still make it for my sweet Daddy. Vanilla yogurt sounds perfect instead of mayo. This southern girl always prefers pecans. Happy Tuesday!
Almost salad season? Haha…I woke up to a foot of snow today….but Spring better be around the corner!! Your salad looks delish!
MUCH better idea than the original mayo, which I hated. This will be in the repertoire!
Yum! My dad and I were just talking about waldorf salad the other day 🙂
My mother used yo make this salad for every holiday. I love your art, too!
I love Waldorf Salad! And you serve it so pretty! I wonder how many dishes got their name from a 5-star hotel? What a special event that must have been!
One of my favorite salads. I love your version and I’ve already printed it out for the kitchen favorite recipe stash. I’m writing this with my morning coffee and I could eat this for breakfast! Yum. Thanks Jenna……….
I love Waldorf Salad! I’m looking forward to giving this updated version a try.
Thank you, Jenna!! 😋
I made it today with pecans and lemon cream yogurt. It was delicious!!
😀👍 Thanks again!!
Looks delightful, healthy and the pecans would be what I would have used as well!
Love this, but have never made with yogurt. Will give it a try, and yes always pecans! Yum! (I like walnuts, too, but love pecans, hehe). 😉
You’ve made it so easy, Jenna, and the Waldorf salad looks so pretty in your dessert dish.
Hi Jenna, I like your idea of adding grapes and yogurt. This is one of my favorite fruit salads to make! Sometimes I add Craisins too – the dried cranberries. Thanks for the recipe! ❤️
I haven’t had this salad in years but it’s very tasty and I love the cheese in it too. Great contrast of flavors. Thanks for linking this up with us at #OMHGWW
thank you Alice!
Jenna, The grocery store salad bar is such a time and $ saver for when I need just a few ingredients instead of a whole jar or bag! Love the idea of the lemon yogurt addition! ♥
I know, I love to get exactly what I want all prepped!!
