Notes
- Can I make Waldorf salad ahead of time? Absolutely! I would keep the salad base and the dressing separate, and mix them together just before serving to maintain the salad’s freshness and crunch. Also, I recommend chopping the apples just before serving or coating with a bit of lemon (or orange) juice to keep them from browning.
- How long can I store Waldorf salad in the refrigerator? It’s best to eat Waldorf salad within 2-3 days of preparation, ensuring the ingredients retain their texture and flavor.
- Can I add protein to my Waldorf salad? For sure! You can enhance the nutritional value of your Waldorf salad by adding grilled chicken, turkey, or even tofu, creating a more filling main dish.
