Back in the 70’s, my mom used to make this and she added diced chunks of roasted turkey. It was one of my favorite dinners. Thank you for reminding me of it!
Maybe it could be made with left over Turkey day after thanksgiving! Something fresh and cool after so many rich dishes! Great idea about the Turkey, thanks
My heart aches for those in the comments who are so put off by the concept of mayo and fruit that they won't try this. It doesn't taste like mayo. At all. It's like... a really light sweet cream.
@LagiNaLangAko23
Mayo is awesome - so is the word "moist".
I love mayonnaise...
Then why not just USE CREAM!?
Michaela Anne it’s kind of weird to be so absolutely against fruit and mayo. Many chicken salads have fruit such as apples or grapes or cranberries in them and they are coated with straight mayo.
LagiNaLangAko23 it’s also weird when people object to “hot mayo” recipes, ie recipes that have you add mayo to something that goes into the oven to cook. It’s literally just oil and egg, two very common ingredients in a lot of baked goods and egg dishes. Why should it suddenly become gross if that oil happened to be blended and thickened into mayo before adding it to a dish? And other people seem to equate mayo with dairy (even though it’s not) and that’s what grosses them out by heating it. But hello, cheese is actually dairy and is heated to delicious effect all the time.
Reminds me of a Fawlty Towers episode.
I used to make this for my lunches. I work at home so if you minutes in the kitchen making lunch, making this for lunch, was always a treat. Never thought about using celery root. I'll have to try it.
I couldn't stop laughing at "hot nuts" for some reason. 😂
I literally had tears running down my face.
Lmao
My gr grandmother learned this recipe while employed at the Waldorf in NYC in the late 1800s. As a poor Irish lass she needed to learn to cook American fare and still today our family enjoys the holiday feast from the chefs of the Waldorf.Your recipe is a step up, many thanks.
That's great
Made this as a side for Mother's Day dinner yesterday along with lemon chicken, asparagus tips, and roasted baby potatoes--it was a hit! I had some leftover for lunch today and added cold chopped lemon chicken and it was equally good. I used finely diced celery as I could not find celery root. I used sour cream instead of creme fraiche, a little extra fresh tarragon and black pepper, no cayenne. Don't be weirded out by mixing fruit with mayo, it's amazing! Highly recommend!
So easy even Basil Fawlty should be able to make it.
"What is a Waldorf, anyway? A walnut that's gone off?!"
I came to the comments section for the Fawlty Towers references, was not disappointed.
I think we're just out of Waldorf...have you by any chance ever tried a Ritz Salad? It's a traditional old English thing -- it's apples grapefruit and potatoes in a mayonnaise sauce.
Don't mention the war. I did, but I think I got away with it...
@@conanclone A "Waldorf" is a famous hotel. The story we heard back in the 1940's and 1950's was that that Hotel Chef was asked to make a new salad for some important guest, and just threw together the stuff he had on hand. It was so popular that it became the traditional "Waldorf Salad" and everyone tried to copy it. I mentioned above that Mom always used black walnuts, (never English walnuts), green celery and never added the licorice-tasting tarragon. Take care. ;o) Donna B.
Well done, Chef John! Beautiful salad, well-executed and presented.
My wife and I were inspired just by your mentioning "Waldorf Salad" in your last video. Having recently gathered both walnuts and apples -- the prime ingredients -- we said, "Let's do it!"
Ours was a little different. We had two Belgian endive left from a dish we had earlier, so Sophie chopped that, the apples, jambon de reims and some Comté cheese while I shelled the nuts. She also made a simple vinaigrette dressing. That was our supper. It wasn't the classic; it wasn't your recipe -- we made it before we saw the video; but, it was more than satisfactory. Next time we'll try yours.
+Arlyn Lichthardt Yours sounds better. ;)
+Food Wishes Chef John, I like your rejoinders and replies to the decent posters, but I'm willing to forgo that and just watch your videos alone without any comments allowed anymore since so many moronic and toxic posters have arrived.
Some guy compliments chef john and you attack him for a quasi run on sentence? Not very nice, man.
Chef John, a friend used some windfall pears in her Waldorf Salad once, years ago....I rarely make it with only apples alone since then. The soft pear flavor marries so nicely in the tangy-sour of the original recipe.
I have been making a Waldorf salad for years. I originally thought that mixing mayo and fruit would be weird but it is not at all. Very tasty but I have never done the salad quite like this so I cant wait to try it.
Chef John -- until I was an adult I made this with diced cooked chicken and thought that was Waldorf Salad - then, to my horror/chagrin I learned the original did not contain diced cooked chicken.
My grandmother made it with chicken and called it Waldorf Salad and so that's what it was.
I still like it with chicken.
As a US Southerner this is present at every Thanksgiving and Christmas and usually Easter and many other occasions :) And yes it is super good.
And it always was present -- even when some of the fruit was harder / more expensive to get off-season.
Who else remembers citrus being a huge treat in the winter?
Most people do not grasp the gravity of how fortunate we are currently, that most varies of fruit and vegetables are abundant and available year round. Those of us who do remember are dinosaurs.
@@jodrew1845 Hi, Jo! I remember. Or maybe we're just precious Antiques! Hahaha... :o) Donna B.
@metaphysicalgraffiti - Spoken like a clueless, leftist hypocrite.
I thought in the south ambrosia was the thing to make? No?
@@palomarodriguez3308 Oh yes definitely both!
2 old school recipes. I always make them for holidays and they remind me of my great-grandmama. :)
Hahah, people are put off by the mayo in a salad...
This salad originates in Eastern Europe. In Poland we make selery root/apple salad with mayo, but we rather classify this as vegetable salad. Nuts, raisins or grapes make exciting blend.
So, it is a vegetable and fruit salad.
HannaARTzink - We’re not European, but I grew up in a very diverse neighborhood. My Mom actually got this recipe while grocery shopping. It’s DELICIOUS,
It was a different time. People/strangers actually spoke with each other, regardless of ethnicity, shared ideas, recipes, etc. Can’t do that anymore...😔
I love baby carrots and Ranch. My ex would give me crap for using straight mayo when we would be out of Ranch. I wouldn't use a lot, just dip them in to get enough for a little extra flavor. She'd always be like "why you gotta do that? That's disgusting!", etc. Finally, one day I asked her "what do you think the base of Ranch is?"
cujoedaman - Yep. Mayo gets a bad rap.
why are people so put off by mayo in salad? most creamy salad dressings have identical ingredients to mayo, they're just seasoned.
Yay! I love seeing this. My grandmother would have approved. Although the apple would be diced finer, she'd use finely diced celery instead of celery root, and I think she put in raisins (not a lot). I feel like this is missing some other fruit or veggie ingredient, though. I'm fairly sure she wouldn't have used any black pepper or cayenne, and I don't know if friends or cafeterias use either pepper in theirs. Very nice and light for the summer, very tasty in winter. -- Do not be put off by the mayo. This is fine, and tastes light and is just enough to complement the ingredients, not to drench anything. Gosh, why haven't I fixed Waldorf salad? That's simple, I could do that. Dang, am I that lazy? Now I want some. Will have to add ingredients to my next grocery list. Thanks, Chef John! This rocks. It's a very Southern thing, I think, and popular in the 50's and 60's when my grandmother and then my mom were entertaining. I grew up with this often at my grandmother's or at the cafeteria. (I also like carrot salad, but don't have it often.)
I'm subscribed and I love all your videos. I've been working in restaurants my whole life and watch the food network on a regular basis and I honestly think your videos are better and can be more informative to the everyday home cook than any other show on foodnetwork. Keep up the good work Chef John!
I make this salad at least once-a week. So refreshing and delicious. I use fresh orange juice instead of lemon. So good.
I love Waldorf Salad.
Your previous recipe gives it an even more epic appearance!
I love Waldorf Salad :) This reminds me of Christmas, since we always have this with Christmas dinner
Chef John, Im planning meals for the week and I'm so glad I found your channel. It looks delish and so easy!! THANK YOU
Like a lot of commenters I THOUGHT I didn't like Waldorf salad. That is until I tasted one. Oh the regret of missing this delicious salad for decades because of narrow minded ignorance. Try it, you may love it.
Your humor made this the BEST of all the otherwise boring Waldorf recipes I've watched!
Yum!!! Haven't had Waldorf salad is sooo long. So glad you reminded me how delicious it is!
Thank you Chef John, awsome and professional video. I'm a young male adult and I could eat this kinda salad forever. I've been eating junk food for far too long and I want to make a change.
One of my all time favorite salads! Can't wait to make this!
Besides the excellent recipes I love your comments with the little extras they really make my day. You're great 👍
I adore Waldorf salad!
TuckerSP2011 you are a dog so that makes sense
This is a really good one too IMHO. Made it and LOVED it. Thank you again, Chef.
“Instead of making a Waldorf salad, you’ll make an annoying salad.” IM DEAD 😂😂 I love you, Chef John.
I'm enthralled with the rise and fall of your voice! Great recipe too!
You know Chef John, I've never been a big fan of the Waldorf Salad aside from the infamous Faulty Towers episode. That said, I think I'll try this recipe adding the chicken! This is why you are the man!
I had this salad while I was inpatient in the hospital and it was delicious. Imagine if it a hospital salad was good how much better it could be if you made it yourself.
CELERY! APPLES! WALNUTS! GRAPES! IN MAYONNAISE!
Thanks for this video Chef John. Waldorf Salad is my Favorite salad in all salads...
Another great one. The celery root is genius.
Thank you Chef.
Simply delicious. Followed your recipe exactly. Best Waldorf ever. Love the tartness added by the lemon juice and sour cream. Am having it for supper with grilled cheese sandwich. Yum!
Just made it, absolutely refreshing dish. 10/10, Thank you Chef John
My Grandmother. Made this every Christmas...love it.
A lunch counter I used to go to a lot before I retired added a couple of things to this salad - mandarin orange segments, and cubed cold chicken. Absolutely delicious and on the days they had it you had to get there early before they sold out. It's my go-to for using up cooked chicken or turkey.
Thank you Chef John. This looks fantastic and I shall definitely try it. Thank you.
This looks very refreshing!! I’m going to try it!! 👍😊
One of my favorites! I make mine similarly. Sweet and crunchy. 😘❤️
Thank you for the recipe! Making and taking this salad tomorrow for Sunday lunch 💘
Looks absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to make this!
Yes! This (or your Brutus salad) will be the perfect first course for New Years. I used to order this salad at Oscars at the Waldorf. Delish
what an easy waldorf! :) I make waldorf salad every year for my new years partey-tyrkey, and next time I am defnetly gonna try this recipe! No whipping cream, yay! :D
One of my favorite dishes!!!
Thank you Chef John for the great tip with apples.
My mom made this every week and I loved it.
Looks delicious -- very injoyable.
Great idea for intertaining, I'm sure ivryone will injoy this American classic.
Terrific salad. I only make it half a dozen times a year but it is a wonderful salad. Nice change up with the celery root.
The Waldorf salad at the Wicked Spoon buffet blew my mind. Everything was cut like matchsticks (which I prefer to these large chunks) and they didn't use a mayonnaise-based dressing, it was almost like a sweetened, cider vinaigrette. I'm still looking for the recipe...
Sounds wonderful, you've inspired me to create one, thanks.
I really enjoy your commentary, you seem like such a nice guy with a great sense of humor. The salad is just what I need to add to my Thanksgiving dinner. Goes great with turkey. I always trust your recipes. Thanks !
I only make this for Thanksgiving because no one but me likes it and I wind up eating the whole thing over the holiday. Your version looks mighty good -- lol.
Thanks for another good recipe. While I've never been a great fan of fruit salads I have to admit that Waldorf salad is not too bad at all. Since we have about a quarter bushel of apples leftover after the apple sauce, apple butter, apple pie filling extravaganza my wife put up, I think we'll have try this tomorrow.
My mom made this salad often all through the year.
I’ve made it many times myself but with some canned fruit ie: mandarin orange slices, pineapple, peaches etc. which you can use fresh too.
We always added a little pineapple juice too instead of lemon.
I had without question the best upload I've ever seen on Waldorf Salad and I've researched this subject for three years: CZcams, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Chowhound., and even VideoJug. I spent thousands of dollars to find what I thought was the best version of the classic Walfdorf. I was gonna make my upload a big star on CZcams...And let me be even more frank - Just to show you that I'm not a hard-hearted man, that it's not all dollars and cents: My clip was beautiful! It was pithy, it was informative and it was high production!! It was the greatest piece of video I've ever seen, and I've seen 'em all over the World Wide Web!!!
And then...Chef Johnny comes along with his olive oil voice and *Guinea charm and upstages me with this masterpiece of culinary perfection. He made this clip just to make me look ridiculous! And a man in my position can't afford to be made to look ridiculous. Now you get this clip the hell out of here!! And if Chef Johnny Gastronauto tries any rough stuff, just tell him I ain't no sous-chef. Yeah....I heard that story.
*(Guinea was used by a guy that's half Italian to another paisano. No offense was intended.)
+sharpasaneraser Brilliant. Absolutely spot on and brilliant!
What is this from?
sharpasaneraser Perhaps you can come up with a recipe for the horse head you found in bed😮
Hysterical response. Love your humor. Sure Chef John will too. Thanks for the laugh.
@@steveg8322 I'll leave everything up to Chef John from now on. I think I was on pain meds from a kidney stone when I posted that comment.
Looks delicious sir. Never thought about using the celery root. Can’t wait to try this! Thank-you❣️
I love the way you core apples....
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️🇺🇸
Had it once and I liked it!
I love this salad ! Thank you .
🤗. My mom use to make this. Thank you for uploading this...❤️
Yum!! This looks so good. Never had this. And That's how Iv always cut my apples lol.
I love Chef John !
John you're an inspiration! Keep it up with these awesome videos.
Thank you , Mr.Porter once again
I've never had this without diced chicken in it. The mayo makes more sense when there's meat around! Anyway, I love this dish and might add it to my picnic menu for 2016.
I couldn't find one video of a Ritz Salad. Classic English dish. Apples, grapefruit and potatoes in a mayonnaise sauce.
I remember my mom making this in the 70’s...another one you should give us is...Ambrosia...maybe you already have, I’ll look for it!
I really like this recipe. it's a staple at all our family reunion for years. but we always had a teaspoon of sugar to our dressing. they you chef John I've been looking for the right recipe.
You da boss!~ I'm so excited about this recipe.
Looks so good 😋😍
Thanks you! I made it (with minor changes of my own) it was absolutely delicious 🤤!
Now I'm craving fruit and there isn't any in the house and it's almost midnight.
This reminds me of a fruit dip I make with sour cream and a couple spoons of brown sugar mixed together. Then dip your apple and fruit slices into it and eat. So delicious.
Must have side dish with thanksgiving dinner.
I watch these videos because of his voice, so soothing.
I watched this video after watching the famous Fawlty Towers episode. Thank you. It looks delicious!
Love your recipes! Would love to see an eggnog recipe for the holidays :)
I like to added it to green leaves. The crunchy texture goes really well with the leaves.
There was a time in the 60s and 70s where this type of salad was available almost everywhere. It's great but today is rarely avaiable. Mind you it's not a low calorie salad. Still an excellent treat. Thank you for the recipe.
Your videos are so good to watch... you make me hungry!!!!
Had this at a wedding once. I'm not a salad guy but it was delicious. A very small portion and had to ask for another basket of yeast rolls
This salad really is a triumph. Every single ingredient works together so well. There's nothing you can cut, nothing you can add.
Chef John !! Yeah, that's it, that's what I call MYSELF in MY HEAD !!!
Love this salad. So bright and fresh. Cheers :)
Honestly,cayenne? Chef John,you never fail to impress me.
I love mayo with fruit :)! great recipe !
I have used sour cream or yogurt instead of mayo, which IMHO makes this type of salad a nice breakfast food. I have also added chopped chicken or replaced the apples with chicken as an alternative. And it can be served on a bed of lettuce for a lunch or dinner...chilled makes it great in hot weather.
Thank you for nice recipe
My Nana and my Mom made it all the time so good mmm
Well done!!!
I don't even like this salad but I watched this video bcuz you're so awesome
My Grandma made Waldorf salad every holiday but this more modern take is better. I made a few changes based on what I could get. I cut the mayo in half & used plain yogurt instead of CF. Couldn’t find celery root so I used celery with red grapes & Granny Smith apples. I also substituted almonds because walnuts don’t agree with me. I loved the tarragon in this!!! I’ll be adding it to my chicken salad also. I served it as a side dish with quiche and it was perfect.
Wonderful salad,thank you!!!!👍
Your commentary is everything
Will gladly try it with cellery root!
I've never had Waldorf salad before, but this looks pretty good so I might give it a try some time just for something different. I'm always looking for new recipes because the boyfriend loves to eat. Thanks, chef. :-)
looks very delicious chef john and I love mayo mixed with fruit 😆
Celery root reminds me of jicama but I believe celery root has a much stronger flavor. Your salad looks sooo tasty! Thanks for sharing
thank you it's look the delicious
My favorite
We make this quite a bit in our family. We also add chopped up dates. Extremely good.
