Ingredients
- 2 medium Red apple
- 1 medium Green apple
- 3 large Celery stalks
- 1 cup Red grapes
- 1 cup Yellow grapes
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions
Step 1
Wash the apples thoroughly. Core and chop the red and green apples into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on for added fiber and color.
Step 2
Place the chopped apples in a large mixing bowl. Immediately drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning and toss gently to coat.
Step 3
Rinse the celery stalks, then chop them into small slices. Add them to the mixing bowl with the apples.
Step 4
Rinse the red and yellow grapes. Halve them and add to the mixing bowl with the other ingredients.
Step 5
Coarsely chop the walnuts and lightly toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before adding to the salad.
Step 6
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the vegan mayonnaise, maple syrup, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently fold until everything is well coated with the dressing.
Step 8
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle over the salad. Gently mix to incorporate.
Step 9
Line a serving platter or individual plates with fresh Bib lettuce leaves and spoon the Waldorf salad over the lettuce.
Step 10
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled option.
