Indulge in a delightful symphony of flavors with Waldorf salad and coleslaw, two classic dishes that offer a refreshing and crisp taste experience. Waldorf salad, originating from the renowned Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, combines crisp apples, crunchy celery, walnuts for a nutty texture, and sweet grapes, all bound together with a creamy mayonnaise dressing. On the other hand, coleslaw, a versatile side dish with a long history, features shredded cabbage, carrots, and onions tossed in a tangy dressing, often mayonnaise-based, with variations like vinegar-based or creamy dressings. Both salads promise a delightful balance of flavors and textures, making them perfect accompaniments to grilled meats, fish, or as standalone light meals.

Potlucks tend to have a lot of heavy dishes, so this bright, fresh Waldorf salad coleslaw recipe is a welcome addition. I came up with this recipe as a way to serve something crunchy and fruity with a touch of sweetness. Sometimes I add shredded coconut and use toasted pecans instead of walnuts. -Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

Categories     Salad     Side     No-Cook     Vegetarian     Quick & Easy     Yogurt     Mayonnaise     Vinegar     Apple     Walnut     Celery     Summer     Chill     Cabbage     Gourmet

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

a 2 1/2-pound white cabbage, cored and chopped (about 12 cups)
4 Granny Smith apples, cut into julienne strips, plus apple slices for garnish
4 ribs of celery, sliced thin diagonally
1 1/2 cups walnuts
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 cup red-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • In a very large bowl stir together the cabbage, the apple strips, the celery, and the walnuts. In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, the yogurt, the mustard, the sugar, the oil, the salt, and the vinegar until the dressing is smooth, pour the dressing over the cabbage mixture, and toss the slaw well. Chill the slaw, covered, for 2 hours. The slaw may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Serve the slaw topped with the apples slices.

Tips:

  • For a classic coleslaw, use a combination of green and red cabbage. For a sweeter coleslaw, use more red cabbage. For a more tart coleslaw, use more green cabbage.
  • Shred the cabbage thinly for a more delicate coleslaw. For a more crunchy coleslaw, shred the cabbage more coarsely.
  • Add some grated carrots, celery, or onion to the cabbage for a more flavorful coleslaw.
  • Use a mayonnaise-based dressing for a classic coleslaw. For a lighter dressing, use a vinaigrette or a yogurt-based dressing.
  • Season the dressing to taste with salt, pepper, and a touch of sugar.
  • Let the coleslaw chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the coleslaw as a side dish or as a topping for sandwiches, tacos, or burgers.

Conclusion:

Coleslaw is a versatile and delicious side dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With its crunchy texture and tangy dressing, coleslaw is a refreshing and flavorful addition to any meal. Whether you prefer a classic coleslaw, a Waldorf salad, or a more unique variation, there is sure to be a coleslaw recipe that you will love.
