Mum’s Waldorf Salad
My parents led by example with a love of whole food shown throughout my childhood. This recipe was a weekend special for us as it helped clean out the fridge and was super easy but once ‘thrown-together’ there were never any leftovers! My definition of fresh comfort food.
Ingredients:
3 whole stalks of celery
2 medium apples
1 small red onion
1 medium avocado
2 cups roasted/grilled chicken
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup whole egg mayonnaise
1/2 lemon juice
Method:
- Finely dice red onion and leafy head of celery stalks and combine in a large bowl.
- Dice remaining celery, apples, and chicken, into approx 1cm cubes and add to main bowl.
- Scoop out avocado into a seperate bowl and mash. Combine avocado and mayonnaise and add lemon juice until smooth and creamy. Combine into main bowl and stir through well with other chopped ingredients.
- Chop cranberries and walnuts to desired consistency (if you prefer it crunchy, leave these larger.) Add into main bowl and toss through lightly.
Present on plates or bowls with a sprig of celery leaf and slice of lemon.
