I don't know about you but sometimes, I love having a little bit of crunch and sweet bites to my salads, which is why I made my own version of the Waldorf Salad. The combination of the fruits, the candied walnuts, and the creamy vegan dressing is so delicious, it will instantly bring you to the Waldorf Astoria! We hope you enjoy this paleo version of this traditional salad.
