Waldorf Salad

Cultural Context

Waldorf Salad originated at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City in the late 19th century. It has become a classic American dish, often served at formal gatherings and events. The combination of fresh fruits and nuts provides a refreshing contrast, making it a popular choice for summer picnics and holiday meals alike.
