CLASSIC WALDORF SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small saucepan on the stovetop, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil, whisking to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat, stir in the walnuts; toss to coat.
• Spread the nuts on a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until fragrant and golden brown. Keep a close eye on them so that they don't burn. While still warm, sprinkle the nuts with a little bit of kosher salt to taste. Set aside to cool completely (they will continue to harden as they cool).
• In a large bowl toss together the apples and lemon juice. Add the grapes, celery, candied walnuts, mayonnaise and parsley. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Make a bed of lettuce on individual plates or on a larger platter. Top with the apple mixture and garnish with additional parsley.

WALDORF SALAD

Steps:

• Peel, core and medium dice the red delicious apples. Apples start with approximately 2 pounds of apple to yield 1 1/4 pounds of diced apple. Place in a mixing bowl and mix with the lemon juice. This will keep the apple from discoloring. Before dicing the celery, blanch it in boiling water for 60 seconds and cool it with cold water. This will bring out the sweet flavor and extend the salads shelf life. Combine diced apple, lemon juice, mayonnaise, celery and chill. Serve on a bed of lettuce topped with walnuts and add a simple fruit garnish. Traditionally this is also served with tiny sweet finger sandwiches. (Example: date nut bread and raspberry jam.)
• Serve with: Boston or Romaine leaf lettuce .
