Waldorf Salad from the cookbook NYC Vegan is a plant-based version of the classic recipe. Apples, celery, walnuts, and grapes star in this delicious remake.
I'm not much of a collector, but I really enjoy owning cookbooks. Even if I don't make all the recipes, there's something so enjoyable about flipping through a new cookbook, admiring the photos, and getting ideas for new dishes.
For example, I remember enjoying Waldorf Salad years ago, but I hadn't tried a vegan version of it. In fact, it never even crossed by mind to make one.
But thanks to NYC Vegan: Iconic Recipes for a Taste of the Big Apple, here I am sharing the recipe with you!
You may be familiar with the authors Michael Suchman and Ethan Ciment from their popular blog Vegan Mos. They are no strangers to creating flavorful recipes for the home cook that eliminate the need for animal products.
It's so fun to read about the history of iconic New York dishes and the multitude of ethnic cuisines which have found a home in the City.
Some of the recipes I'm most excited about are the Black and White Cookies, the Street Fair Corn, and the New York Cheesecake.
I'm also eyeing the Lasagna, General Tso's Chick'n, and Israeli Salad.
And I'll definitely be making the Waldorf Salad again!
It's really easy to make with only eight ingredients, including salt.
I love how crunchy it is from the apples and celery.
The walnuts give it a hardiness, and the grapes give it a nice tang.
Waldorf Salad is perfect as a side dish or to bring to a potluck. It also makes a nice light lunch.
Now enjoy a little piece of New York City with this delicious salad!

As a formerly vegan curious eater, now fully vegan, cookbooks were my gateway to understanding how little I understood about cooking w plants...I'm a big fan of Isa Chandra Moskowitz,Angela Liddon,Richa Hingle, Ella...etc etc etc LOL, but lately I keep cooking from Amie Valpone's 'Eating Clean' & it is amazing

I have learned so much from cookbooks, too! I'll have to check out Eating Clean. Thanks for the recommendation!
