This salad is known to have originated in the 19th century at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York. The recipe was made with only apples, celery and mayonnaise by that time. Walnuts and grapes are later additions, bringing a lot of flavor and texture to the original.  I’ve wanted to share the recipe with you ever since I was first introduced to it, many years ago. I am glad I finally can come up with a straightforward recipe that you can easily reproduce at home.

How to make Waldorf Salad. 

For this recipe, I recommend using celery root, also known as celeriac. Celery root has a great earthy flavor and is perfect for salads and dips. Peel the celery root, cut it into smaller pieces and boil it for 3 minutes only, as we still want to keep its crispy texture. Once cooled, cut it into thin strips. 

Toast the walnuts in a pan stirring constantly and chop roughly if desired. Let them cool before adding them to the salad. 

Cut the grapes into haves or quarters, remove seeds if desired and add to the celery strips. You can always substitute the grapes with raisins if that is what suits you best.

Only now, core the apple and cut it into small pieces with the skin on. Add lemon juice the salad, to prevent apples from turning brown. Add parsley, dill, salt and pepper and mix to combine. 

Make a quick dressing with mayonnaise and sour cream, and mix it with the salad. Serve the Waldorf salad over a bed of fresh salad and enjoy one of the most flavorful salads ever.
