Classic Waldorf Salad
Chopped apples and celery, grapes, walnuts and a few dried cherries are a classic dish known as Waldorf Salad. A light, vegan-mayo dressing adds a nice contrast to the fruit. Elegant enough to be served as an appetizer, side dish, or even as a light dessert at the end of your holiday meal.
