New York Waldorf Salad Recipes

This is the original Waldorf Salad recipe which I clipped out of the newspaper several years ago. My mother made this salad often--it must have been a favorite of hers also. Newer versions have left out some of the ingredients which add variety in texture and taste. It's a classic American salad which was developed by the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City.

"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.

I grew up blocks away from the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City. I remember walking by the heralded building as a kid and wondering if all the guests inside were eating nothing but Waldorf salad. I imagined the hotel must have needed a lot of grapes, walnuts and mayonnaise! When I first made the salad as a young chef in Larry Forgione's kitchen decades later, I marveled at how good this salad can be when it's treated with care. A small cheffy note: The confectioners' sugar on the grapes brings out more of their vibrant color when you roast them, making for a tasty, delicate balancing act between them and the lettuce on one side and the roasted chicken, crunchy walnuts and mayonnaise-style dressing on the other. I like to mix this salad together at the very last minute so the flavors are all still independently delicious and therefore even better when eaten all together.

This simple apple salad got its name from the luxurious Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York. Invented in 1896 not by a chef but by the maître d'hôtel Oscar Tschirky, the Waldorf salad was an instant success. As often happens, many variations evolved-some with raisins, some with chopped nuts. This one has green apples and red seedless grapes.

This is not your classic Waldorf salad, which is traditionally a mélange of apples, celery, raisins, walnuts and grapes in a thick mayonnaise-based dressing. Here, the dressing, thinned out and lightened with yogurt, is spiced with curry and cumin, and the salad mix includes a generous amount of chopped radicchio or endive, which bring a bitter dimension into the mix. This salad is also an excellent home for leftover Thanksgiving turkey.
