THE ORIGINAL WALDORF SALAD
"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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place English muffins on a rimmed baking sheet, brush with oil, and generously season with salt and pepper. Toast in oven until golden but still slightly soft in centers, 16 to 18 minutes. When cool enough to handle, tear into bite-size pieces. Meanwhile, whisk together mayonnaise, scallions, and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove stems and center ribs from chard with a knife and set aside. Stack a few leaves at a time, roll up like a cigar, and thinly slice crosswise; transfer to a large bowl. Cut chard stems and ribs crosswise into 2-inch pieces, thinly slice lengthwise, and add to bowl with chard. Chard can be prepared up to 1 day ahead, covered with damp paper towels, and stored in refrigerator. Just before serving, toss chard with croutons and cantaloupe; garnish with scallion tops. Serve with dressing.
