I really liked this salad. Nice twist on a classic. However, the onion didn't work for me. Perhaps a tablespoon or two of green onion would have been good. Perhaps it was my onion, I would make sure to use a sweet onion or rinse the the onion in the future. I didn't think rinsing a grated onion made any sense. The combo of grapes with the blue cheese was great. I'll make again. Thanks

I'm not a huge of Waldorf but absolutely loved this. I was going to make it for Thanksgiving dinner but did not have time, so I made it a few days later with dinner. Hubs and I both loved it....making it again this week!
