WALDORF SALAD

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.

GOLDA'S FROZEN WALDORF SALAD (PAULA DEEN)



Golda's Frozen Waldorf Salad (Paula Deen) image

Saw this on Food Network (Paula Deen) and it look interesting and tasty! This would be great for a light luncheon dessert. I found it took more than two hours to freeze. If you leave it in the freezer overnight, it will freeze too hard--so plan your time accordingly.
