Waldorf Salad Recipe



This classic waldorf salad recipe resembles the original one created at the Waldorf Hotel in New York City in the 1890's.

<<>>
That salad contained apples, celery and mayonnaise, a combination that has been the base of many different versions over the past 100 years.

I first heard of this dish while watching an old Fawlty Towers episode with John Cleese. To watch this episode Click Here.

There are many ways to build this tasty salad, I have made a basic one with a few extra ingredients and slightly different dressing. As this is a fruit salad you can add or substitue any fruit you like and it will still be a good salad. This is quite similar to the ambrosia salad, another fruit salad with many different variations.

For this version I have added the most popular ingredients to the origional recipe: walnuts and grapes. I also mixed the mayonnaise with yogurt and a little lemon juice to mellow out the strong taste of the mayonnaise.

Ingredients:

1 apple-cored and cut into 1" cubes
1 celery stick-thinly sliced
1/4 cup walnuts pieces
1/4 cup seedles grapes-halved

Dressing:

2 tbsp. mayonnaise
2 tbsp. yogurt
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. lemon rind(optional)

Cut up apple, celery, grapes and add to salad bowl. Add walnut pieces as well.

Mix dressing in a small bowl. If you are using juice from a real lemon grate some of the rind and add it to the mix. If you are using lemon juice from a bottle skip this ingredient.

Add dressing to bowl and toss salad well. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

Other Options:

You can use different nuts such as pecans or hazelnuts instead of walnuts. You could also use all 3 together.

The same goes for the grapes-raisins, cranberries, and currants are good substitutions.

The dressing can be made with a 50/50 mix of any 2 of these: sour cream, yogurt and mayonnaise.

The lemon juice can be replaced with any citrus juice or a little apple cider vinegar.
