Waldorf Salad

5 from 1 vote
Waldorf salad usually has mayonnaise in it, making it heavy and thick, and if you ask me, somewhat unappetizing. This Waldorf salad is purely apples, walnuts, cranberries, and onion with a touch of lemon. We traditionally serve this on Thanksgiving and because it's so light and fresh, it helps balance out the rich and heavy food during a Thanksgiving meal. It also makes good leftovers for the next day.
