Made with just 10 ingredients, this Waldorf salad is simple to make and so delicious. The creamy Waldorf dressing is made with mayo, honey, lemon juice, and just a pinch of salt and pepper– so easy! This is a great quick and tasty salad to serve with any meal.
How to Store
Waldorf salad is best enjoyed on the day it is made; however, it will remain fresh for up to 1 day if kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Serve cold. I do not recommend freezing this salad.
Serving Suggestions
I love to serve this Waldorf salad as a light lunch all by itself or topped with some grilled chicken or salmon. It’s a great side to serve with buttermilk fried chicken or baked pork tenderloin, too!
