Waldorf Salad with Walnut Oil Vinaigrette – A Nutty Twist on a Classic If you've ever found yourself staring at a bowl of Waldorf salad and thinking, "This could use a little something extra," then hold onto your forks—because we've got the perfect recipe to jazz things up. Enter: Waldorf Salad with Walnut Oil Vinaigrette. It’s the same crisp, fresh goodness you love, but with a nutty twist that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance. And no, it’s not because of the walnuts (well, maybe partly). The real secret is the walnut oil vinaigrette that takes this classic dish to a whole new level. What’s in a Waldorf Salad? The Waldorf salad has been around since 1893 (yes, that’s over a century of crunchy, fruity salad goodness!). Traditionally, it's a mix of apples, celery, walnuts, and grapes—light, refreshing, and perfect for any occasion. You’ve probably seen it at holiday dinners or served alongside a hearty main dish. But let’s face it, sometimes the plain mayo-based dressing just doesn’t wow us anymore. This is where the walnut oil vinaigrette steps in like the superhero it truly is.
