Waldorf salad with apples and nuts
4 servings
25 minutes
Waldorf salad is an elegant combination of fresh apples, crunchy celery, and aromatic walnuts dressed in a delicate mayonnaise. This classic American salad originated in 1896 at the famous 'Waldorf-Astoria' hotel in New York. Its exquisite simplicity has made it popular worldwide. Apples add juiciness and a slight tartness, walnuts provide rich flavor and texture, while mayonnaise binds all the ingredients into a harmonious ensemble. The salad is perfect as a light appetizer or side dish to meat dishes, and its freshness and contrast of textures make it a favorite on festive tables.
