I made the recipe for two. Keep the peels on the apples - its faster and also adds a red color. Took me 12 minutes from counter to fridge...... and it tasted great. It's a keeper for us!

Delicious recipe. I did use glazed pecans rather than the walnuts and tossed the apples (unpeeled Gala and Granny Smith) in lemon juice before adding the other ingredients. My grandmother makes a similar version adding miniature marshmallows...this is worth a try, too. I look forward to making this again.

I really loved this and so did everyone at the picnic. I subbed a cup of grapes for the raisins and used only 1/3 cup of mayonnaise and thought it was fantastic.

A very simple salad that's great for lunch. I used splenda instead of sugar and apple cider vinegar instead of lemon juice. I also used a combination of lite mayo and lite miracle whip.

This Waldorft Salad recipe tastes just like my mom's. I didn't have any raisins but I did have dried cherries. Mom always told me to make due with what you have instead of running to the store.

Simple and delicious! A big hit at the potluck. The dressing ingredients tasted just right although I didn't use all of the dressing. I used unpeeled Cameo apples (sweet and crisp). I used Craisins instead of raisins. Used walnuts as suggested. Didn't have celery so used a crunchy mini-cucumber. Recipe proportions are right on. I made a 'mostly' Waldorf salad. Quality produce is critical.

Great recipe. I found it was very easy to modify. I used pecans,bananas(really good) and some small marshmellows. It was very much like my grandmothers old southern recipe. I left out the raisens and celery too.

When my daughter (6 years old) and I were making this, my husband said, "Oh, yuck! Who puts apples and mayonaise together?" Today, he had TWO bowls of it! I did alter the recipe just a pinch. I added a little more sugar because I used 2 Granny Smith apples and a Pink Lady (my fav!) and didn't want it to be too tart. I also did NOT use any lemon juice and we're on day 2 and the apples are still beautiful and not at all brown. I did add chopped walnuts, purple and green seedless grapes, celery, and raisins mixed with cranberries and blueberries (I buy 4 bags for $1 at the Dollar Tree in my town!). The colors are beautiful and very summer-ish! Tastes great and is kids love to make it!!

Recipe was a great start. I made according to the directions including added raisins. I didn’t peel the apples, but used an apple core / wedge doohickey I have and then chopped the apples and tossed in lemon juice. After tasting the finished product, I decided it needed something more. I added about a 1/2 chopped orange, a handful each of quartered seedless red and green grapes, and a sprinkle of sunflower seeds. The added flavor of the orange and grapes did the trick for me. I like it with both fresh grapes and raisins together, and think other review suggestions of craisins (cranberry raisins) would be good too. I don't care for the consistency of the chopped orange in the salad, and having now read other reviews I see one that mentioned using some frozen orange juice concentrate. Next time I will try mixing some frozen OJ concentrate in with the mayo for the flavor of the orange and skip the fresh chopped orange.

This was delicious. I omitted the celery because my family doesn't like it. Still a great hit.

My mother sometimes made this salad and I quickly threw it together for some drop-in company. I reviewed the recipe and made the salad. After making it I realized the recipe did not call for cinnamon, which my mother always included. I think it adds a nice flavor.

This is a tasty, basic recipe for the classic Waldorf salad. I used orange juice in the dressing instead of lemon juice, but soaked the chopped apples in water with a tablespoon of lemon juice while chopping and several minutes before mixing with other ingredients. I added halved seedless grapes and 8 0z. of cubed sharp cheddar cheese, and also used the jumbo three-grape mix by Sunmaid mentioned in other reviews. I replaced the white sugar with Xylitol part for part and used light mayo (plain lowfat yogurt with an additional tblsp. of Xylitol works well, too) to make this salad a truly healthy treat. I used much less dressing than called for in this recipe. With these supersweet, juicy raisins and the grapes, there is no need for anything but a very thin coating.

My first attempt at making a Waldorf salad. Made this for Christmas.. Did not measure just eyeballed... I did not want it too creamy or full of mayo so just used a tiny bit of mayo mixed in with the sugar then added a little bit of Cool Whip.. Used Craisins instead of raisins. Turned out pretty good.
