2/3 cup mayonnaise

NOTES : A crunchy, sweet and hearty salad of apples, celery, nuts and mayonnaise.

This salad can easily become a summer luncheon main dish by adding cooked, diced chicken. You will probably need to add a little more mayonnaise. Another nice variation is halved grapes in addition to the apples, or pears as a replacement for the apples.

I am just curious if it matters whether you use walnuts or pecans. I am not a big fan of walnuts, but i love pecans. However, I have never had anything but walnuts in the waldorf salad. does the type of nut really change the taste?

I think it does. Walnuts and pecans have very different flavors, and slightly different textures.

I would use whichever nut you prefer. Personally, I like to toast the pecans before I put them in anything. I, too, prefer them to walnuts.

I have always made waldorf salad with pecans. Not only do I prefer them, but in the South, they are more plentiful.

I USE APPLES, RAISINS, SHREDDED CARROTS, MIX WITH HELLMAN'S MAYO OR SOUR CREAM ADD PECANS OR WALNUTS AS YOU PREFER.
