- Paradise Foods Waldorf Salad with Smoked Turkey & Walnuts

This recipe first appeared in a 2005 Walnut Marketing Board brochure titled, "Sensational Walnut Recipes from Celebrated Market Chefs." The recipes were created by chefs who work at independent markets in Northern California.
Based on the original Waldorf Salad created at New York City's famed Waldorf-Astoria Hotel circa 1890, this new version is a bit heartier. Turkey adds protein, a variety of fruit adds sweetness, and there's plenty of appealing crunch from the recipe's signature walnuts.
