Honeycrisp Waldorf Salad
Waldorf Salad – a classic way to enjoy apples! This salad was born in the 1890’s at the Waldorf Hotel in NYC. Each household & chef makes the Waldorf Salad in their own unique way but 1 ingredient always stays the same: APPLES.
Try one of my favorite recipes for Waldorf Salad! This one is from Superfresh Growers, but you know how I like to be bossy… Their recipes calls for apples, please Produce Moms… use HONEYCRISP APPLES.
