Creamy Waldorf Salad image

This Waldorf salad is different; it has pears in it. This is new to me and the dish is delish. It's more of a dessert than a sandwich spread. These are the salads I love to snack on.

3 large apples, unpeeled and cut into large chunks (Red Delicious works well)
3 large firm ripe pears, peeled and cut into large chunks (Bartlett is good)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 medium celery ribs, cut crosswise into thin slices
1/3 cup whipping cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 medium bananas, cut into thin slices
lettuce leaf, for serving
1 cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss apples and pears with lemon juice. Add celery, cream, mayo, and salt; toss to coat.
  • If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate up to 6 hours.
  • To serve, gently stir bananas into fruit mixture. Arrange lettuce leaves on a large platter or line a pretty bowl. Spoon salad onto lettuce and sprinkle with nuts.
  • If desired, place one lettuce leaf on each individual plate and spoon salad onto lettuce leaf and garnish with nuts.
