Waldorf salad, a very good refreshment for winter days

This time and after a long time, we will once again tackle one of the salad classics. The Waldorf salad is on the program. An unjustly overlooked (I think) salad was made at the end of the 19th century. At the opening of an elite hotel Waldorf Astoria in New York. The staff manager at the time, in a hurry and short of food, ran out of ingredients that were still available and this salad was prepared. They were delighted with her.

The salad also hit one of New York’s top editors and butlers. Oscar Tschirky he gained eternal fame from it, and at one point slapped the big hotel bosses of the time. The salad then underwent many derivations and was also inspired by one of the biggest and most famous fast food restaurants.

The salad is interesting because it consists of perhaps a little unusual ingredients: apple, celery, walnuts and mayonnaise. The variety is of course unlimited. May be strange at first glance, but worth a try. The salad is a very good refreshment especially for winter days with nuts and ingredients that dominate in winter.

Of course, we cannot ignore health. Almighty, proverbially wholesome green apples, superior nuts and cranberries. Salad will be a wonderful vitamin and calorie spice for winter days.
