The Waldorf salad is a classic American salad with crisp apples, celery, grapes and walnuts tossed in a creamy, slightly tangy dressing. However, the original Waldorf salad, which was created at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City in 1896, only had red apples, celery and mayonnaise. Chopped walnuts were introduced to the recipe later along with other additions such as chicken and pears. This salad is often served on a bed of lettuce
