Waldorf Chicken Salad

Cultural Context

Waldorf Chicken Salad originated in the late 19th century at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City. Initially made with apples, celery, and mayonnaise, the dish has evolved to include chicken and nuts, becoming a popular choice for luncheons and picnics. Its refreshing combination of flavors and textures makes it a staple in American cuisine, often served in sandwiches or on a bed of greens. Today, variations abound, with many recipes incorporating different fruits and nuts.
