Waldorf Salad

salad made with diced celery nuts apples and mayonnaise

For the Fawlty Towers episode, see Waldorf Salad (Fawlty Towers) A Waldorf salad is a salad consisting of apple, nuts (especially walnuts), celery, and mayonnaise or a mayonnaise-based dressing. It was first created around 1893 at the Waldorf Hotel in New York City (the precursor of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel which opened in 1931). Although Oscar Tschirky, who was the maître d'hôtel is usually given credit for creating the recipe, there are conflicting stories about who actually created the salad. Oscar Tschirky also claimed credit for several other dishes served at the Waldorf, including Eggs Benedict. (An alternative theory is that it was created by the Waldorf Lunch System, an early 20th century lunchroom chain—starting in the 1920s, the company logo was an apple.) In 1896 Waldorf Salad appeared in "The Cook Book by 'Oscar of the Waldorf'". It is traditionally served on lettuce. Dried fruit is often added — usually chopped dates or raisins.
