Turkey Waldorf Salad

Waldorf salad is a classic American dish that combines fresh, crisp ingredients for a refreshing and flavorful side or appetizer. Traditionally made with diced apples, celery, walnuts, and grapes, it is dressed in a creamy mayonnaise-based sauce. This salad was first created in the late 19th century at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, and it quickly became a popular staple.

In this version, turkey is combined with the blend of sweet, crunchy, and creamy elements that makes Waldorf salad a timeless classic. It’s a perfect post-Thanksgiving lunch!
