Have you ever had Waldorf Salad<\/em><\/strong>?\u00a0 This is type of salad made from apples, grapes, celery, walnuts and mayonnaise, that was invented at the Waldorf Hotel in New York City in the 1890’s.\u00a0 It is not every day that you can pinpoint* exactly where and when a food was invented, but Waldorf Salad is one of these foods.\u00a0 Since we know where (New York City) and when (the 1890’s) this salad was created we can say with certainty that is this is an all-America salad – a truly American food.<\/p>\n

The chef at the Waldorf Hotel in the 1890’s, Oscar Tschirky, is credited with inventing many\u00a0 popular recipes, including Waldorf Salad.\u00a0 Today the Waldorf Hotel no longer exists, but in it’s place there is the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, which is luxury hotel in the heart of New York City.\u00a0 Of course, Oscar Tschirky is not longer the chef at the Waldorf-Astoria either, but if you are lucky enough to stay at this hotel and dine in its restaurant you can still find their signature** salad dish on the menu.\u00a0 You can also make this salad for yourself at home and save yourself the trip to New York City and expense of eating out!\u00a0 Below is a video with simple direction for how to make this refreshing salad.<\/p>\n
