CURRIED WALDORF SALAD

Curried Waldorf Salad image

Try this version this year instead of the traditional Thanksgiving salad. The original Waldorf salad combined celery, apples, and mayonnaise. Gradually walnuts and raisins were added to the mix. This version is not made with the gloppy mayonnaise we associate with Waldorf salad, but it has the same sweet, savory and crunchy mixture of celery, apples, raisins, and walnuts. Slice the apples and celery thin for a more elegant salad.

This salad adds a wonderfully crunchy texture to any menu. My version eliminates the mayonnaise, and thus the cholesterol, and contains no dairy. Points 3.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
If you can't find pre-made curry powder, you can make your own by combining ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, ginger, and chili powder.
Be careful not to overcook the chicken or shrimp, as this will make it tough and dry.
If you're using a pre-made curry sauce, be sure to taste it before adding it to the salad, and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Feel free to add other ingredients to the salad, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

Curried Waldorf salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that's perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken or shrimp. With its combination of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
