All look good.. why is it that no one makes Waldorf Salads anymore. back in the 60’s you’d find them om most restaurant menus. I make it for myself but most people I know have never even heard of a Waldorf Salad…
Hi! I am 65 and have heard of and eaten Waldorf Salad many times, but not in a long time, I must admit. My mom used to serve it on top of lettuce leaves on a small plate for each person at Thanksgiving dinner. Delicious! And I agree, you never hear of it anymore. 🙂
Many people now call it fruit salad and is as close,as you get. I would live your version of Waldorf salad!
