This is a very basic Waldorf salad made with fruits and nuts. I used apple, celery, walnut and raisin to make it. The raisin generally gives the sweetness and so I skipped sugar in it. Instead of raisin, one can use green or black seedless grapes and add sugar to balance the taste.
It is generally served in the bed of lettuce as an appetizer. In place of plain mayonnaise, one can substitute it with thick hung curd/yogurt.
This recipes originated from the city of Newyork in the year 1896 to serve the children of St.mary’s hospital.
