Waldorf Salad

The Waldorf salad was introduced at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel back in the 1890's and has become a classic american salad that is still very popular. The Waldorf salad is a fruit and nut salad that is covered with a creamy dressing served traditionally with a bed of lettuce. The Waldorf salad has had many different variations over the years. Many use dried fruit like raisins with the apples or fresh grapes that give some extra juiciness and sweetness that goes great with crunch of the walnuts and crisp apples. Check out the recipe below at the bottom of this post.

Halve, core, and cut the apples into 3/4" pieces, leaving the skin intact. Add the apples, celery and raisins to the bowl. The dressing will be needed to added right away to keep apples from browning.

Pour the dressing over the apples and celery and mix quickly until combined. Add the walnuts and grapes folding them in gently Place the salad in the refrigerator until cooled then serve over  a bed of spring mix or more traditionally bibb lettuce.
