Waldorf Salad



Browsing through Kevin's blog , I found this wonderful salad recipe . I knew I had to try it out..easy to prepare yet refreshing and yummilicious. I added 2 more items to his original recipe, grapefruit for I am a fan of grapefruit….sweet, sourish and the bitter after taste adds oomph to the salad and shredded cheddar cheese ….hmmm it was one good salad that I will want to make again and again :) The salad is full of vitamins and minerals goodness… and you also get the different tastebud at one mouthful…nutty from the roasted walnuts , sweetness from the cranberries and apple , crunchiness from the celery and sourness and bitterness from the grapefruit…well what do you think ? Of course it was good :))))

This salad goes well with the fried chicken we had for dinner. Excellent combo and the Piggies clan love it! I would like to thank Kevin for sharing such a wonderful salad recipe.

  4. love grapefruits!

    lots of ingredients=lots of dicing and cutting, aii, I'd rather consume them as they are and let them mingle inside my stomach.

    nonetheless, it is one refreshing salad, esp suitable for early spring days!
