Tuna Waldorf Salad
Tuna Waldorf Salad adds a sweet-and-savory twist to classic tuna salad, inspired by a traditional Waldorf salad. Crisp apple, juicy grapes, celery, and walnuts fold into a creamy dressing for this 10-minute recipe.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 5-ounce cans tuna packed in water, drained
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ½ lemon juiced
- 1½ cups red grapes halved
- 1 Granny Smith apple chopped
- 2 stalks celery chopped
- ⅓ cup walnuts toasted and chopped
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Drain the tuna well, as needed, and use a fork to flake it apart in a large bowl.
- Add the mayonnaise and lemon juice, stirring until evenly combined.
- Fold in the grapes, apple, celery, and walnuts.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve, or cover and chill in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
Notes
- Toasting the walnuts beforehand adds extra flavor, so don’t skip this step if possible. Simply toast them in a dry skillet for a few minutes, tossing occasionally.
- A tart apple like Granny Smith balances the sweetness of the grapes, but any apple variety will work in the recipe.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The apple, celery, and walnuts will soften slightly over time but still be good to eat.
