Broccoli Waldorf Salad

May 11, 2020 By Patricia 23 Comments

Broccoli Waldorf salad is a bit of a twist on a classic. Not too far off, and with an added healthy green veggie – broccoli – for good measure. You’ll love this all season long, and beyond!

Broccoli Waldorf Salad

Check your fridge: I bet you have what you need to make broccoli Waldorf salad for yourself! I was out of mayo, so I borrowed a bit — just a bit is needed for this recipe — from my neighbor to get this rolling. 

I made this salad after talking to my sister. She was telling me about it and at first I was like, “Huh?” She said her favorite local grocery store makes it and she was craving it.

After I thought about if for a few seconds, I realized that it would, if fact, be super-tasty! Off I shuffled to make my own broccoli Waldorf salad. She didn’t mention the ingredients, so I simply adjusted the ingredients of the classic recipe a bit. I passed some along to the neighbor I borrowed the mayo from. She had never heard of this and really enjoyed it!

A lovely bowl of Broccoli Waldorf Salad!

A traditional Waldorf salad – created in 1890s for the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York City – is a long-standing favorite recipe recreated in home kitchens for many years. The original had fewer ingredients: just apple, celery, mayo, salt and pepper, and lettuce.

Broccoli Waldorf salad is so easy to make and it’s loaded with all sorts of good bits and pieces. It’s one of those salads that I love in general, but I also love to pick out my favorite bites and eat first!

You won't be able to resist all that's in a Broccoli Waldorf Salad!

For the love of broccoli!

Are you a broccoli fan? I’ve got a few recipes you’ll love:

  • Wild Rice, Mushroom & Broccoli Skillet
  • Savory Broccoli, Cheddar & Chive Scones
  • Roasted Broccoli and Swiss Quiche 

Check out all the goodies in this Broccoli Waldorf Salad!

This salad is perfect for the warm weather, but why not try it when it’s cool out, too? As log as you can get the ingredients you need, this is a perfect side, and a nice change from a standard salad.

Will you try this broccoli Waldorf salad? It’s a little traditional, but you can switch things up to how you like it!

A Broccoli Waldorf Salad is ideal for the season!

    This sounds so yummy! I've gotten a ton of broccoli in my latest CSA box, so I might have to try this recipe and use it up. :)

    This looks really good! When I was a kid my mom always made an apple salad that was similar to this, and I'm guessing it was based on a Waldorf salad. I'm excited to try this variation!

    Gosh, my mom used to make this all the time for me when I was a kid, but it was just her "normal" broccoli salad. I wonder if she knew that it was a twist on a fancy salad haha! Now I can't eat it because of my apple allergy, but gosh my mouth watered as I read the recipe because I already know how delicious it is!
