Ordinarily, and classically, Waldorf Salad mght have grapes.  However, the tang of cranberries that have been plumped up with grape juice brings this recipe to a whole new level. And when lemon curd is added and you present this holiday side dish in a mini-pumpkin, you will be handing out this recipe to everyone who asks . . . unless, that is, you decide to just keep it in the family!
