Healthy real food dairy-free waldorf salad recipe using avocado.
We had an interesting day yesterday. It didn’t feel like a Tuesday. We had another breath-taking day here in Charlotte. We are getting spoiled with this nice weather. Makes both of us eager for fall!! We had a lot to do yesterday, but managed to squeeze in some yoga, practiced two new recipes, edited videos, went for a walk, emails and got our eyebrows threaded. Yep threading! Anyone try it? Â We have done it once before but it has been awhile. Our poor eyebrows needed a tune up! We just love it. We like threading over waxing for the eyebrows. It’s safer and doesn’t hurt as much. And we feel lasts longer.
Not really sure if this was the best to bring up on recipe day, but oh well. Hopefully you are still sticking around for the recipe.

A festive mixture of avocado, mustard, broccoli, red grapes and walnuts!
This was our first time making our own waldorf salad. Our mom and Michelle love a good waldorf salad. Lori is a little picky and doesn’t like mayo, so we had to seek an alternative.
This broccoli waldorf salad was inspired by our:
avocado miso dressing
broccoli salad dressing
We love how creamy avocados can be, so it works beautiful in this dairy-free waldorf salad recipe.

Our recipe is made of red grapes, celery, walnuts and avocado! Not too bad, right? Lori is not a fan of mayo so avocado was the perfect substitute to make our creamy dressing!
This broccoli avocado salad is light and refreshing to enjoy as an appetizer or serve along side your dinner.

I love the idea to use avocado instead of mayo because as much as I love mayo sometimes you just need something different! I’ll definitely have to try it. Thanks for the recipe ladies 🙂

That looks so good! I’ve always hated mayo, but a Waldorf salad without that would be great.
Looks delicious, I love the combination of avocado and broccoli. Thank you for sharing this recipe, is it your experiment?

Thanks for sharing Ladies. Absolutely loved this recipe! Definitely will be making it again and again 🙂
glad you liked it Leanne 🙂
Thinking of making this for a going away party at work for an avid broccoli/avocado lover… It will be made the night before and kept in a fridge for most of the day before party… Will the avocado brown?
It will a little, add in some lemon it will help some.
