BEST WALDORF SALAD



Best Waldorf Salad image

Waldorf salad is a fan favorite that has earned its place on every lunch menu. This fruity concoction was first made in Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York over a century ago and since then has become a staple in restaurants, country clubs, and Southern homes. Our Best Waldorf Salad combines fresh celery, granny smith apples, seedless grapes, and pecans to make a fruity, light dish. After these fresh ingredients are chopped and mixed, you can eat them right out of the bowl or serve them on a bed of crisp lettuce. While the recipe calls to dress the salad with mayonnaise, to create a healthier dish, you can swap out the mayonnaise for Greek yogurt. This dish is versatile enough to serve as an appetizer or a light lunch salad. This salad is truly fit for any occasion but is most enjoyable in the summer heat or in the fall when crisp apples are in season.

THE ORIGINAL WALDORF SALAD



The Original Waldorf Salad image

"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.
