About

This simple salad has been a popular classic since the late 19th century. It was first served by what was then the Waldorf Hotel and is today the Hotel Waldorf Astoria on Park Avenue. If you are pressed for time, you can substitute shop-bought mayonnaise for home-made in this recipe, but the extra effort is really well worth it. Promise.
