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.

FANCY WALDORF SALAD

I served this to a crowd of 50 women at my sis's bridal shower about 20 years ago. They loved it, as did I. What makes it "fancy"? It has whipping cream as an ingredient. My notes says it's from page 321 of Better Homes & Garden Cookbook.
