The Waldorf Salad is traditionally made with apples, walnuts, and celery that are chopped and tossed with mayonnaise.
Founded in New York City at the Waldorf Hotel, which later became the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, Oscar Tschirky is often the one credited with the creation of the Waldorf salad.
While the Waldorf salad is classically made with mayonnaise, yogurt is often substituted for a lower-fat option.
