How To Make Apple Waldorf Salad With Recipe & Directions

Ingredients

You probably already have about half of the ingredients on hand to make our stacked Waldorf apple salad. You only need to add a few extra affordable items to your grocery list. But you may want to get a few extras because you’ll want this apple salad again.

Envy™ Apples
Apples are the star of this salad recipe, so you want high-quality apples. Envy™ is known as the ultimate apple experience. They strive to grow apples that help you slow down and savor the moment. From the beautiful deep red appearance to the sweet, aromatic, and crisp crunch in every bite, you’ll see why they bring this recipe to a whole new level.

Plus, slices of Envy™ apples stay white longer!

Look for them in the produce section with the red and white sticker. You can also check out their store locator to find Envy™ apples near you!

Goat Cheese
Goat cheese adds a creamy, tangy richness to your apple salad. It’s soft without being smooth like ricotta cheese and has a buttery, tart flavor. Goat cheese traditionally pairs well with sweet apple slices and grapes, spicy arugula, and nutty walnuts. If you’re not a fan of goat cheese, try another soft cheese like mascarpone or cream cheese.

Break off chunks with your fingers and sprinkle between each apple layer. This is an easy way to spread it evenly into every crunchy nibble. You can usually find this in the diary section of your grocery store by the milk and butter. Waldorf apple salad calls for half of a cup, so you don’t need much to whip up this recipe.

Walnuts
With a mild and earthy flavor, walnuts pair well with sweet apples. Apples are high in carbs, so they take about an hour to digest. The fat and protein from the walnuts help slow down digestion so you feel full longer, making Waldorf apple salad ideal for a light meal or snack. The best thing about walnuts is that you don’t need a lot to benefit from the calcium, omega-3, and iron.

Use your knife to roughly chop the walnuts, then toast them in the oven at 350℉ for about eight to ten minutes. Or look for ones that are already toasted in the baking or snacking aisle.

Yogurt
An easy way to balance the acidity in dressings is to add something creamy — like yogurt. Greek yogurt is thick, sour, and sometimes bitter. This is perfect for an added layer of creaminess without the mayo. If you’re egg-free, this is music to your ears! Honestly, I prefer this recipe with yogurt instead of mayo, so you don’t feel like you’re missing out. Yogurt is known for its probiotics that help improve gut health and calcium for strong bones.

Grab a tub from the dairy section of your neighborhood grocery store.
