Author Notes

Read a recipe for an updated Waldorf Salad by Cathy Barrow in The Washington Post. I am participating in Veganuary to help tip me more plant based (too in love with cheese/eggs/butter/etc to be permanently vegan), so adapted a bit. The mayonnaise had to go. Lovely flavorsome, crunchy, light and satisfying salad. A little bit of work to shop for and to prepare, but worth it. —luvcookbooks

Ingredients
  • Clementine Dressing
  • 1 clementine, juiced
  • A tiny bit of minced Serrano pepper
  • Salt and pepper
  • Splash of olive oil
  • Updated Veganized Waldorf Salad
  • Half a pomelo, in sections (forkable)
  • Half an Asian pear apple, thin wedges cut in half
  • Large handful pomegranate seeds
  • Persimmon, chopped (Fuyu)
  • Small handful chopped celery
  • Small handful roughly chopped walnuts, toasted with a smidge of olive oil and salt
  • Small handful of fresh mint and Thai basil, slivered
Directions
  1. Add the minced Serrano pepper (I used about 1/8) to the clementine juice. Season with salt and pepper and add olive oil. Whisk together.
  2. Mix all salad ingredients in a bowl. Pour over dressing, mix again, and serve! Travels nicely with the dressing and walnuts in separate containers, mixed on site.
