Home > Waldorf Salad


 

A Waldorf salad is a salad consisting of apple, nuts (especially walnuts), celery, and mayonnaise or a mayonnaise-based dressing. It was first created in 1896 at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York by Oscar Tschirky who was the maître d'hôtel . It is traditionally served on lettuce.

"Waldorf Salad" is the title of a 1979 episode of Fawlty Towers which concerns a bad-tempered American guest's increasing frustration with Basil Fawlty's incompetence, symbolised by Fawlty's continuing inability to produce the salad of the title: "I'm sorry, we're just out of Waldorfs."
