Waldorf Salad

A little research on the Internet reveals some astonishing and shocking things - quite a few “original Waldorf salad” recipes, some of which are ghastly modifications, e.g. with canned mandarins or chicken. Today we have a variant that is very close to the original, except for the decoration.

• 2 apples (Elstar), cut into pieces.
• 2 stalks of celery, unthreaded and cut into thin slices
• 1 handful of roasted, coarsely chopped walnuts
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 150 ml mayonnaise
• pepper
• salt

I mix the ingredients quickly together. Then I fill the salad into glass bowls and put a bunch of lamb’s lettuce in each. Looks nice and adds some color.

The mayonnaise is copied from Steph’s Kleiner Kuriositätenladen blog and is just 1 part milk, some mustard, 2 parts oil (olive oil for me) and some salt.

So a healthy little snack!
