Healthy Waldorf Salad with Avocado, Chopped Egg & Toasted Walnuts
In our Waldorf salad, we swap high fat and high sugar mayonnaise for nutrient dense avocado. The result is the same creamy taste that we all love but with more nutrients, fiber and healthy fats. We also added chopped egg to increase the protein creating a salad that is a one-stop-shop for any time of day. For our vegan friends, just delete the egg or replace it with firm tofu.

Toast Walnuts in a small dry saute pan over medium heat until the walnuts start to lightly brown (about 3 minutes). Watch closely as the nuts will go from toasted to burnt quite quickly. Set aside to mix in the salad at the end.
