Betty Crocker Waldorf Salad

Answer 3

Here is my mothers recipe, I hope you like it as much as we do!
Waldorf Salad
3 or 4 apples, unpeeled, cut from the core, and chopped into bite size pieces (about 3 cups)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup raisins
2/3 cup chopped celery
1/3 cup walnuts (optional)
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sugar

Don't bother peeling the apples unless their skins are really unattractive. Cut up 3 or 4 of them, until you get about 2-1/2 or 3 cups of chopped apples. Sprinkle the lemon juice over the apples. The acid in the lemon juice prevents the apples from turning brown. The raisins will taste best if you plump them first. Do this by measuring them into a cereal bowl and adding enough warm tap water to cover them completely. Allow them to sit for a few minutes, absorbing the water, and softening up. Drain them very well when you need them. I actually squeeze them to make sure they are very dry. Chop up the celery, it should take about 2 stalks or so. I add black walnuts because I get them for free, but you can use regular walnuts or omit them completely if you don't have any handy. Mix everything together in a medium sized bowl with the mayonnaise and sugar, coating all of the ingredients with the mayonnaise. It is now ready to serve, or you can chill it overnight and serve it tomorrow instead. This is so crunchy and chewy, it is perfect contrast for a meal which is soft, or easy to chew. This recipe serves 6

Answer 6

Waldorf Salad
created by Chef Oscar Tschirky of the Waldorf- Astoria hotel in New York in the late 1890's. This salad was considered the height of sophistication in the early years of this century. Originally it contained nothing more than apples, celery, and mayonnaise. Chopped walnuts and seedless grape halves came later. A version popular with children includes miniature marshmallows.

Combine in medium bowl:
1-cup Celery
1-cup diced firm apples
1/2-cup coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2-cup Seedless red grape halves (optional)
Stir in:
1/2 to 3/4- cup mayonnaise
Serve at room temp. or cold
