    Waldorf Pasta Salad with Pineapples is not only tasty but it is a lighter version of this classic dish!

    This Waldorf Pasta Salad with Pineapples is light and flavorful. This dish offers many different textures!

    From the crunchy celery, apple, and walnuts, to the juicy pineapple, to the tender pasta.

    The sour cream gives it a tangy flavor that is a nice, unexpected surprise.

    This is another recipe that I had in a binder and can’t remember where it came from.

    I am pretty sure it was in a cookbook I had, and when I donated the cookbook I wrote down the recipe but not the source.

    A google search didn’t turn up anything like it. There were some recipes that were similar and some that were very different.

    • Combine pasta, drained pineapple, one medium apple (cored and chopped), one cup of chopped celery, and three tablespoons of walnuts in a large bowl.

    I served this pasta salad with Honey Lime Chicken and zucchini that are cooked on the grill. It makes for a very fast and easy meal that doesn’t heat up my kitchen.
