THE ORIGINAL WALDORF SALAD
"Millions who never visited the Waldorf owe him a debt," The New York Times wrote in 1950, upon Oscar Tschirky's death. Mr. Tschirky, a Swiss immigrant who became known as "Oscar of the Waldorf," is credited with creating this piece of Americana in 1893, a timeless dish whose popularity has spread far past the Waldorf's exclusive doors and into home kitchens. Over time, variations would include blue cheese, raisins and chopped walnuts, which can be added here alongside the celery and apples. But the original is an exercise in simplicity: four ingredients that have lived on for over a century.

Love this fresh version of the waldorf salad you use cream cheese and orange juice instead of mayo. I got this one from my Mom over 18 years ago, not sure where she got it. My boys will even eat this one.

Steps:
- Whisk together the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper until smooth. Add in the Poached Chicken, celery, grapes, raisins and apples. Mix until the salad is coated in the dressing. Line the bottom of four serving bowls with 3 leaves lettuce. Divide the salad evenly among the bowls, over the lettuce. Sprinkle the walnuts on top of the salads and finish with the chives to serve.
- Place the celery, onions, carrots and wine in a large saucepot set over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid reduces by half, 5 minutes. Add the chicken, and then pour enough stock to cover, adding more if needed. Bring to a simmer and cook until the meat falls off the bone, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Remove the chicken to a baking sheet and cool. Strain and reserve the broth for another use, like a soup or sauce. Cool the chicken, then shred the meat.
WONDERFUL WALDORF SALAD
This is a great fall salad. So easy and I always get recipe requests. I think the original was from Alton Brown, but I changed a few things. This is great for Thanksgiving or other harvest party. It also travels well for a fall picnic or pot luck. The recipe calls for golden raisins but I like the black ones. I think the contrast is nicer too. Add some left over grilled chicken for a great meal. I always eat the leftover (if there is any) from Thanksgiving with left over turkey mixed in for lunch the next day. Cooking time is chill time.
