The Waldorf salad has made a name for itself in the culinary world. Originally, it was a simple salad consisting of apples, celery, and mayo. Introduced on March 14, 1893, the Waldorf salad was served to guests at a charity ball honoring St. Mary’s Hospital for Children. Coincidentally, the Waldorf hotel opened the previous day, and the charity ball was the very first event to take place in the hotel.

Edouard Beauchamp, the Waldorf’s original executive chef, came up with the salad (and the rest of the menu) with Oscar Tschirky, the maitre d’hotel. Just three years later, Tschirky published a cookbook with the recipe for the historic salad. The simplicity of the salad may be the reason for its rise to fame. However, shortly after the salad’s introduction to the world, people began to elaborate on the original three ingredients. Over time, people added walnuts, oranges, marshmallows, and a few other items on occasion.

This salad does not contain mayonnaise, nor does it contain walnuts. It does, however, contain raw pecans, grapes, apples, dried cranberries, celery, and mixed greens. We used Granny Smith apples, but you can use Fuji, Honeycrisp, or Gala apples if you prefer those varieties. Similarly, you can swap out the red grapes for green grapes if you prefer the flavor profile.

A Waldorf salad is the perfect blend of crunchy textures and sweet and tart flavors, all dressed in a wonderfully creamy dressing. Normally, a Waldorf salad contains chicken, bleu cheese, and candied walnuts. These ingredients add sodium, sugar, and unhealthy fats to a seemingly healthy meal. When you factor in the creamy dressing, it takes it down another notch on the health charts. That’s not the case for this Waldorf salad variation.

The dressing for this salad is a creamy tahini dressing that is more reminiscent of a raw ranch, but it works well with the salad ingredients. The refreshing lemon flavor and nuttiness from the tahini complements the grapes, raw walnuts, and avocado. Now, the avocado is not a traditional ingredient in a classic Waldorf salad, but adding it to anything makes it better. Are we right, or are we right? You never regret adding avocado to a meal!

In case you didn’t notice, there are more grape varieties in grocery stores during fall. Grapes are excellent seasonal ingredients that most people enjoy as snacks. Adding them to salads and other recipes, much like avocado, is another great culinary decision. Not only do they pop with flavor, but they also provide numerous healthy benefits. Although this recipe calls for red grapes, feel free to purchase the grapes that you enjoy most. Green grapes, for example, will give the salad a pleasant tartness that complements the sweeter apples. Let us know which variety you choose in the comments below.

Fuji apples may be our favorite apples in the grocery store. They are juicy, sweet, and beautifully crisp, which pairs well with the walnuts and romaine. It’s the raw rendition of the classic Waldorf salad!
