How to Make Philly Waldorf Salad

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup of orange juice, 1 tablespoon of grated orange rind, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gently fold in 2 cups of diced celery, 2 cups of diced apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith recommended), 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans, and 1/4 cup of mayonnaise.
  3. Mix lightly until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill. This step is crucial for the best taste and texture.
