Is there a substitute for honey in Waldorf Salad?

Does Waldorf Salad contain tree nuts?

Can I make Waldorf Salad ahead?

Yes, it takes well to being made ahead. Dressed, it is best the day it is made, so keep the dressing apart and toss Waldorf Salad just before serving. Undressed and refrigerated, the components hold about two days. Store the walnuts at room temperature so it stays crisp. It does not freeze.
