Waldorf Salad


First created between 1893 and 1896 at the Waldorf Hotel in New York City. I got this recipe in 1992, when I was appointed as a 'housemeister' (housekeeper) in an Austrian noble family! Original recipe did not call for nuts / grapes.

Ingredients:
2 green apples,peeled, julienned
1 celeriac, peeled, julienned (or 2-3 stalks celery, finely chopped
100 g finely chopped Walnuts
1-2 small bunches white grapes, halved if too big
mayonnaise, to your liking (should be 'neutral' - not to salty)
Method:
Mix all ingredients. Adjust the amount of your favorite ingredients according to your liking.
Serve as entree, side salad (meat and fish), or dessert salad.

  3. Meni ona može ceo obrok da zameni, naročito leti! Šta jedu ti Ausrijanci, mislim da li ima još koji tajni recept iz njihove kuhinje?

  4. Nisam nikada probala ovu salatu. Promijenit ću to :)
    Imaš možda recept za štrudlu od jabuka? Jednom sam jela original austrijsku i moram priznati da joj nema ravne...

  6. This is a favorite all-American salad of ours Jasnas! We have it at almost every gathering. Always on a bed of lettuce. I have to try your recipe with celeriac, I'm sure this will taste even better! Cheers!

  7. Zaposlena kao "Hausmeisterin"? svaka cast, zamisljam kako to mora biti vrlo zahtjevan posao, narocito (dt.)...bei der gehobenen österreichischen Gesellschaft"... ;) Waldorf salatu jako volim, mada je (jos) nisam jela s celerom. Obavezno cu probati!
