WALDORF SALAD

Waldorf Salad image

This simple apple salad got its name from the luxurious Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York. Invented in 1896 not by a chef but by the maître d'hôtel Oscar Tschirky, the Waldorf salad was an instant success. As often happens, many variations evolved-some with raisins, some with chopped nuts. This one has green apples and red seedless grapes.
