Waldorf Salad

A Waldorf salad is a classic American dish that typically consists of chopped apples, celery, walnuts, and mayonnaise, mixed and served on a bed of lettuce. It was created at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City in the late 19th century. Some variations may include grapes or raisins, and the dressing may be made with yogurt or sour cream instead of mayonnaise.

I love a Waldorf salad with fish or chicken dishes but you can also add some cooked chicken to the salad for a more filling main meal.
