Frozen Waldorf Salad
While I was growing up on a farm in western Kansas, we always had lots of hungry men around during harvesttime. This salad is one we served often since it was easy to increase and we could prepare it ahead of time.
Ingredients
- 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Dash salt
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 2 medium red apples, chopped
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
- Lettuce leaves, optional

This is a recipe my family has used for many years. For Christmas, my mom would add marschino cherries and some of the juice to make it more festive and red!
My family and I thought this salad was delicious. I did add half a cup of dried cranberries and I used walnuts in place of pecans. Couldn't ask for a better cool summer salad. Especially good with grilled tenderloin!
I made this for thanksgiving and it was thumbs down for all. WAY TOO SWEET ! My son's girlfriend took to work and they also agreed. Ended up dumping it down the sink.
So good that I usually save it for dessert! This was my late mother-in-law's favorite fruit salad. I think she made it by the same method, so this must be a classic recipe.
