Classic Waldorf Salad
The original Waldorf salad was just apples, celery, and mayonnaise. Nuts were soon added. The later versions of this recipe add more things, such as grapes and marshmallows, that add a lot of carbs and a lot of calories. So here is the classic Waldorf salad that I make with black walnuts (when I can get them).
I have included this recipe in my Low-Carb Gluten-Free Midwest Thanksgiving meal plan. This is a meal plan for a complete Thanksgiving dinner including portion sizes, shopping lists, make ahead schedule, and adjustments for dairy, tree nut, and egg allergies, vegetarians, and further carb adjustments to take it into the keto zone.
