THE ORIGINAL WALDORF SALAD

"Millions who never visited the Waldorf owe him a debt," The New York Times wrote in 1950, upon Oscar Tschirky's death. Mr. Tschirky, a Swiss immigrant who became known as "Oscar of the Waldorf," is credited with creating this piece of Americana in 1893, a timeless dish whose popularity has spread far past the Waldorf's exclusive doors and into home kitchens. Over time, variations would include blue cheese, raisins and chopped walnuts, which can be added here alongside the celery and apples. But the original is an exercise in simplicity: four ingredients that have lived on for over a century.

LUBY'S CAFETERIA SPAGHETTI SALAD

A copy cat recipe. I haven't tried this one yet. Although at the 4-H District Speech Supper last year, one lady brought a salad similar to this one, but without the cucumbers in it. A person could change the kind of veggies, and probably half the recipe for your family.

LUBY'S CAFETERIA CARROT SALAD

Just found this on a web site for restaurant recipes. The original calls for 1/2 cup sugar but I wondered if that would be to much so I posted the recipe as 1/4-1/2 cup.
