During the summer months, I especially enjoy salad with some fruit tossed in—like Kale Salad with apples, Broccoli Salad with dried cranberries, or my favorite, Honey Mustard Chicken Salad!
A salad the whole family loves

Storing Info
STORE. Unless you’re planning on eating the entire salad, serve the dressing on the side. If the salad has dressing the leftovers will only last about 2-3 days in the fridge. Without dressing, the leftover salad will last a few days longer. Make ahead of time. This classic Waldorf salad recipe is pretty sturdy, so you can make it in advance. Just add the dressing right before serving! Portion for lunches. Make a big batch of salad earlier in the week, and then portion it out into single-serve airtight containers for a light lunch throughout the week.
¾ cup mayo or nonfat plain Greek yogurt ¼-⅓ cup sugar 2 teaspoons poppy seeds 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar season with a bit of salt and black pepper
