Waldorf Salad Recipe

This delightful salad was named after the Waldorf Astoria hotel, where it was first invented. It never goes out of style, with fresh crispy apples and celery, paired with the crunch of walnuts and the sweetness of raisins.

2 apples, peeled, cored and diced
2 stalks celery, cut into small cubes
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1/4 cup raisins>

Place all ingredients in a bowl and pour dressing over.

Dressing:
1/4 cup Miracle whip salad dressing
1 heaping tablespoon sour cream
tiny bit of milk (to thin out the mixture)>

Mix salad dressing and sour cream together. Drizzle a bit of milk in to thin it out to the consistency of a pourable salad dressing. Pour over the apple mixture and toss lightly.

This salad looks beautiful served in lettuce cups as a side dish and works equally well on a buffet table.

• The traditional Waldorf salad recipe above does not call for any meat. You can turn this recipe into a lovely luncheon entree by adding chopped, cooked boneless chicken breast to the mixture before adding the salad dressing.
