How To Make An Easy Waldorf Salad

Use plain mayonnaise, or a flavoured one.

1. Step 1:

   Wash and cut the apples into eighths then cut each piece in half. (Keep the fruit in a small bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice as you go to prevent discolouration.) When all the apples are done, sprinkle with the sugar and add a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise to the bowl; stir then cover with a plate or a layer of cling film while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.

2. Step 2:

   Wash the lettuce and break it up with your hands, but not too small – and don’t cut it with a knife or the leaves will discolour around the edges and quickly go limp.

3. Step 3:

   Top and tail the celery and cut into thin slices, removing any loose strands.

4. Step 4:

   Halve the walnuts then mix with the celery, adding both to the apples with some more mayonnaise.

5. Step 5:

   Line a large glass bowl with the lettuce and pile the apple, celery and walnut mixture in the middle.

6. Step 6:

   Garnish with a few crushed walnuts and serve.
