Waldorf salad with a twist – succulent shrimp with walnuts, apples, grapes, and celery with a creamy lemon greek yogurt dressing!
So, I think this might be my new favorite salad. I’ve always been a fan of the classic chicken waldorf salad. It’s so fresh, creamy, and light. I was thinking of ways to change it up – and substituting shrimp sounded like the perfect idea. Even, salmon would be really good.
This salad would make for the perfect lunch or dinner. It’s incredibly filling and satisfying! I crave light salads like this all summer long. This one is definitely on rotation.
