WALDORF SALAD

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup walnuts halves
3 large apples with a crisp texture, preferably 1 red, 1 green, and 1 yellow
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 stalks celery (with leaves), peeled and sliced on the diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick pieces
1/2 cup prepared mayonnaise
2 tablespoons finely sliced fresh chives
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon minced fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 head Boston or Bibb lettuce, trimmed, washed, and dried

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool and break the nuts up into small pieces. Half, core, and cut the apples into 3/4-inch pieces, leaving the skin intact. In a medium bowl, mix the apples with the lemon juice, celery, and walnuts.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, chives, sour cream, parsley, sugar, and lemon zest and season with pepper. Add the mayonnaise mixture to the apple mixture and stir to coat. Refrigerate if not using immediately. When ready to serve, arrange the lettuce leaves on a large platter, or divide them among 6 salad plates. Place the salad on the lettuce and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the salad will be. Look for crisp apples, crunchy celery, and juicy grapes.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and make the salad more refreshing.
  • Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce: This will add extra crunch and freshness.
  • Garnish the salad with chopped walnuts or pecans: This will add a nutty flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Philly Waldorf Salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. Whether you like it classic or with a twist, this salad is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a light and healthy lunch or dinner, give Philly Waldorf Salad a try.
