Paradise Foods Waldorf Salad with Smoked Turkey & Walnuts
Description
Based on the original Waldorf Salad created at New York City’s famed Waldorf-Astoria Hotel circa 1890, this new version is a bit heartier. Turkey adds protein, a variety of fruit adds sweetness, and there’s plenty of appealing crunch from the recipe’s signature walnuts.
