Waldorf Salad Recipe

This salad is named after the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City where it was created.

  • 2 firm ripe crisp tart green apples
  • 1 firm ripe crisp sweet red apple
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • 1 cup of sliced celery
  • ½ cup of coarsely chopped walnuts
  • ½ cup of mayonnaise
  • 1½ teaspoons of honey (to taste)
  • Iceberg or Bibb lettuce leaves

Core and quarter the apples leaving the skin on (unless it is tough). Slice thinly into a bowl and toss with the lemon juice to coat. Add the celery and walnuts. Cover and chill. Mix the mayonnaise and honey (if desired) together until smooth, add to the apple mixture, and toss. Serve on a bed of lettuce.

(Serves 4)
