Waldorf Salad with Bunya Nut Crumble
Serves 4
A Waldorf salad is such a classic side dish or appetiser. Originally served in New York at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, we’ve given this quintessentially American salad a native Australia makeover using Sandalwood Nuts and Bunya Nut Meal in place of Walnuts. It’s fresh, flavourful and the addition of a savoury nut crumble takes this simple salad to the next level and a definite must-make!
Crumble Topping:
- ½ cup Sandalwood Nuts
- ¼ cup Bunya Nut Meal
- 1 tsp Old Man Saltbush
- ½ tsp Mountain Pepper Leaf
- 40g butter, melted
Waldorf Salad:
- 1 head of butter lettuce
- 1 bunch seedless green grapes
- 1 rib of celery, sliced finely
- 1 granny smith apple, cored and sliced finely
Salad Dressing:
- ½ cup Greek yoghurt
- 3-4 tbs white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of cracked black pepper
- Pinch of caster sugar
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional)
