Notes
Waldorf Salad Ingredients Notes:
- Apples. I suggest a tart/sweet apple like pink lady or gala.
- Walnuts. pecans are a good substitute for walnuts.
- Raisins. if you don't prefer raisins, dried cranberries are a good substitute.
- Honey. granulated sugar or maple syrup can be used in place of honey.
