Mary Berry Waldorf Salad

Mary Berry Waldorf Salad

Mary Berry Waldorf Salad is a British-style take on the traditional Waldorf salad, combining apples, grapes, celery, and walnuts with a simple mayonnaise-based dressing. Unlike versions overloaded with dressing, this one keeps the coating light so the fruit and nuts remain the focus.

Ingredients

  • Crisp apples (such as Granny Smith or Braeburn) – 2 large, cored and diced

  • Seedless grapes – 150 g, halved

  • Celery sticks – 2, finely sliced

  • Walnuts – 75 g, lightly toasted and roughly chopped

  • Mayonnaise – 4 tablespoons

  • Lemon juice – 1 tablespoon

  • Salt – to taste

  • Black pepper – to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the apples – Dice the apples and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.

  • Prepare the fruit and veg – Add grapes and sliced celery to the bowl.

  • Toast the walnuts – Lightly toast in a dry pan, then chop once cooled.

  • Make the dressing – Mix mayonnaise with salt and black pepper until smooth.

  • Combine gently – Fold the dressing through the salad ingredients.

  • Finish with walnuts – Add walnuts last to keep their crunch.
