WALDORF SALAD



Waldorf Salad image

This simple apple salad got its name from the luxurious Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York. Invented in 1896 not by a chef but by the maître d'hôtel Oscar Tschirky, the Waldorf salad was an instant success. As often happens, many variations evolved-some with raisins, some with chopped nuts. This one has green apples and red seedless grapes.

WALDORF SALAD



Waldorf Salad image

This is the original Waldorf Salad recipe which I clipped out of the newspaper several years ago. My mother made this salad often--it must have been a favorite of hers also. Newer versions have left out some of the ingredients which add variety in texture and taste. It's a classic American salad which was developed by the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your salad.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. It should be cooked through, but still juicy and tender.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the apple and celery. This will help to prevent them from browning.
  • Add the nuts and raisins just before serving. This will help to keep them from getting soggy.
  • If you don't have any mayonnaise on hand, you can substitute Greek yogurt or sour cream.

Conclusion:

Waldorf salad is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, delicious, and packed with nutrients. With its combination of sweet, savory, and crunchy ingredients, Waldorf salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
