Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Celery stalks
- 1 Granny Smith apple
- 0.5 cup Walnut halves
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 Romaine lettuce leaves
Instructions
Wash and thinly slice the celery stalks.
Core and chop the Granny Smith apple into small bite-sized pieces. Optionally, leave the skin on for added texture.
Toast the walnut halves in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes until lightly browned and fragrant. Let them cool before roughly chopping.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, heavy cream, and lemon juice. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
Season the dressing with salt and black pepper, then mix until well incorporated.
Add the sliced celery, chopped apple, and toasted walnuts to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss until all the ingredients are well coated.
Line a serving platter with the romaine lettuce leaves.
Spoon the Waldorf salad mixture onto the lettuce leaves.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour to let the flavors meld.
