Classic Waldorf

Submitted by Lennie

"This classic version of Waldorf is my family's favorite; not terribly sweet with a strong flavor of apples. Add more sugar if you wish; also, you can use any type of apples but I prefer Granny Smith both for their taste and their crunch."

Very easy and very good! I loved the combination of the apples, celery and nuts. I made it the day before, and it held up beautifully in the refrigerator! It was a success at my sister's bridal shower today! Thank you for sharing a great recipe!
