This classic Waldorf Salad is a simple and delicious combination of apples, grapes, celery and walnuts in a creamy dressing.

Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Salad

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons water
Kosher salt, to taste
2 crisp apples, cut into ½-inch cubes
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup halved grapes
1 cup diced celery
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus extra for garnish
Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
For serving: lettuce leaves (such as Bibb, Iceberg or arugula)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a small saucepan on the stovetop, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil, whisking to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat, stir in the walnuts; toss to coat.
  • Spread the nuts on a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant and golden brown. Keep a close eye on them so that they don't burn. While still warm, sprinkle the nuts with a little bit of kosher salt to taste. Set aside to cool completely (they will continue to harden as they cool).
  • In a large bowl toss together the apples and lemon juice. Add the grapes, celery, candied walnuts, mayonnaise and parsley. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Make a bed of lettuce on individual plates or on a larger platter. Top with the apple mixture and garnish with additional parsley.

This Waldorf has a twist to it. Instead of mayo my Mom used cool whip. It could be a dessert but we have this with our main course at Thanksgiving and its been in our family as long as I can remember. Its one of the most looked forward to dishes of my families.

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.
