Notes
- Yields 3-4 servings
- You can use either a Braeburn apple or a green Granny Smith apple if you want additional tones of cinnamon sweetness (Braeburn) or sour (Granny Smith)
- Of course, if you have a drug test coming up, ditch the poppy seeds
- Many people add lettuce to their Waldorf salad, but historically the Waldorf salad did not include lettuce
- Whipping cream could be used as an alternative to mayonnaise
- Lemon juice could be supplemented with a 1/2 Teaspoon of vinegar if you don't have any lemons at home
