Sounds great for summer - if it ever comes.

Our favorite is apple salad. I'm not sure what qualifies it as a Waldorf salad. The walnuts, I think.
I noticed that some of you use celery and you could add either of these if you like.
Anyway, here is what I do.
1/2 apple per person
1/2 banana per apple - that is how I start to get the amount that I want.
For instance:
4 apples
2 bananas
Maybe a cup of grapes halves - or dried dates, raisins, etc.
1 cup of mini marshmallows
Dressing is about 1/3 Miracle Whip and 2/3 Cool Whip
I like a generous amount of the dressing and just scoop it on - don't usually measure.
Okay, now I'm cooking like my grandmother.
It's a favorite with my family.

This recipe is a little different in that it is frozen. It's easy to make ahead of time.

I love waldorf salad, but have lightened up my dressing quite a bit. I use equal parts mayo and plain yogurt(usually greek yogurt because that is what I always have around) - add a little sugar, either fresh lemon juice or apple cider vinegar - just to taste. This is good on fruit salad, like waldorf, but also makes an amazing dressing for a veg salad - I don't think the dressing suffers from using the lower fat versions of both the mayo and yogurt.
