New Recipe 2017 Waldorf Salad

WALDORF SALAD
This recipe is from my book" The Art of Soups, Salads & Sandwiches
Waldorf salad- created at New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in the 1890' by the maître d'hôtel Oscar Tschirky, the Waldorf salad was an instant success. The original version of this salad contained only apples, celery and mayonnaise. Chopped walnuts later became an integral part of the dish. Waldorf salad is usually served on top of a bed of lettuce. I made this recipe as close as to the original 1890's recipe.
