When I was invited to participate in this campaign I had the idea to make a salad but it couldn’t be just any salad…I set some very high standards for this offering.
A) It needed to be appealing to the eye….especially to the eye of a child. You know, colorful, bright, textural, yummy looking….all the things that will have kids running to the table!
B) It needed to incorporate fruits and vegetables.
C) It needed to have an interesting back story…
Hence : Green Apple Waldorf Salad! We can tick all the boxes with this one!
Invented in 1896 and named for the luxurious Waldorf-Astoria Hotel In New York City, this simple apple salad became an immediate success. Developed, not by a chef, but by the maître d’hôtel Oscar Tschirky, this glorious dish has stood the test of time and with good reason…it’s fresh, crunchy, filling, flavorful and healthy!
I took the basic recipe which includes chopped apple, celery, walnuts and lettuce, and for kicks added a little more fun…a light citrusy dressing made of low fat yogurt and fresh lemon juice, dried cherries, seedless red grapes and Dole Sweet Baby Lettuces.
I’m sure with your first bite – you’ll discover how a salad, this salad, that’s over 100 years old, is still kickin’!
