Jenny's Sweet Waldorf Salad

“I couldn't ever find the perfect Waldorf salad - one that wasn't too mayonaise-y tasting, yet one that still held enough of the original flavor to be called a Waldorf. So I mixed and matched and experimented, and finally came up with a perfect twist on the classic Waldorf Salad recipe. Now I get requests for it at every family get together!”

I love this version of a waldorf salad. I don't like quite that much dressing, so I cut it back by about 1/3. I added pecans, because they are what I already had. I also substituted a red pear, because I couldn't find an asian pear. If you are making this the night before, save the marshmallows to add shortly before serving as they will melt overnight in the dressing.

I was looking for a little extra for my meal last night and tried this. It was fabulous. I was feeding 5 children, 3 teens, and 5 adults. One of the children really turned up his nose when he saw it, so I told him to just touch it with his finger and taste and if he didn't like it, the others could have more. As soon as he tasted it, his eye lit up and he said, "Grandma, is this dessert!?!" The only change I made, was the use of vanilla yogurt since I didn't have plain. I think I will continue to use vanilla. VERY good recipe!

This is great, but try this. Instead of Yogurt.....take 1 cup of whipping cream, whip it in a blender until it is stiff then add 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar to the rest. Its really sweet and delicious

this is NOT your mother's waldorf salad. This is so good! I used vanilla yogurt. This says that it makes 8 servings...but it makes a LOT, and I only used 2 apples. A recipe has to be really wonderful for me to take the time to review it! thank you

Awesome salad - great for someone who likes Waldorf salad but isn't a fan of mayo. I followed another user's suggestion and used cottage cheese instead of the yogurt (because that's what I had on hand). When I blended it I added a little milk to get the right consistency and help blend the curds. I also added some halved red grapes and a few extra slivered almonds. Will definitely make again!

This was very good, but I ended up making changes. Store had no granny smiths, so I used braeburn. I had walnuts on hand, so used those instead of almonds. I cut back the amount of cranberries by 1/2. I also cut back the amount of dressing by about 1/2 and it was still plenty. I also slightly cut back the amount of sugars and it was still plenty sweet.

I made this for a dinner of thirty people and the best part is the fact that you can change the number of servings and it changes the recipe. I used Walnuts instead of almonds…I’m wishing I would of used the almonds, I mixed my grapes half red, half white and also added Gala apples as well as the others. This pretty much liked by everyone and I should of printed out the recipe to share. I think it would be great with chicken added and served on a crescent for a special luncheon. This was a great recipe!!!! Will definitely make this a keeper.

I thought this would be perfect for fall with all of the fruits in season. I read most of the reviews and would agree that there is too much sauce. I cut the amount in half and still had more than enough. I also agree that the combination of ingredients make for a strange mix of flavors. While it was o.k. for hubby and I to have as a side with lunch, it's nothing that I would serve if I were entertaining guests.

Yummy, but a bit much going on! I think it would have been better with less "sauce" too. Next time I'd make the sauce as stated but pour it on little by little until the consistency seemed right.
