Waldorf Salad

Waldorf salad is a favourite American salad and is very simple to make.

Salad ingredients

• 1/2 cup whole walnuts
• 2 sticks celery, chopped (keep some leaves to use for garnishing)
• 2 apples, chopped into the same size pieces as the celery
• 3 tablespoons whole egg mayonnaise diluted with 1 tablespoon water
• salt and pepper to taste
• parsley to garnish

Method

Toast the walnuts, tossing continually for 2 minutes in a dry fry pan on medium heat, until they are lightly browned, then allow to cool. Combine the walnuts, celery and apple. Dress with whole egg mayonnaise diluted with water.

Tip: Whole egg mayonnaise has a more subtle flavour. Light sour cream can be used as a healthy substitute.

Mix the mayonnaise with the other ingredients and sprinkle on salt and pepper to taste. Garnish it with the parsley and celery leaves.
