If you've never had a Waldorf salad before it typically combines celery, apple, and mayo. This recipe is by far the most delicious and healthiest version out there, plus it has a few added ingredients for amazing taste. You'll want to eat this because the celery and apple are both great for gut health and with the other combined ingredients, you can also expect a reduction of inflammation, improved heart health, and a memory boost!
