WALDORF SALAD - APPLES, DATES, CELERY, PECANS, SOUR CREAM



Waldorf Salad - Apples, Dates, Celery, Pecans, Sour Cream image

This is great for hot days - no mayo! It's different from the usual waldorf. I serve it in clear plastic drink cups at picnics and barbecues, as a dessert. This is the basic recipe. You can add 1/2 c shredded, sweetened coconut if you like, or pineapple tidbits, or both!

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.
