The Waldorf Salad is a classic creation of American cuisine dating back to the 19th century. It was invented in 1896 by the maître d' of the famous Waldorf Hotel in New York, Oscar Tschirky. Originally, the recipe included apples, celery, and mayonnaise, and over time ingredients such as walnuts and grapes were added to enrich its flavor and texture. In Latin America, this salad keeps its name in almost all countries, although in some places it is simply known as "Apple and Celery Salad". Its fresh and crunchy combination has made it a popular dish for celebrations and home meals throughout the continent.

How to Prepare Waldorf Salad III
Remove the core from the apples. You can peel them if desired or leave the skin on, especially if they are red-skinned apples to add color and flavor.
Chop the apples into cubes and sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent them from oxidizing and to maintain their freshness.
Combine the apples with chopped celery and add enough mayonnaise to moisten all the ingredients, achieving a creamy and delicious mixture.
Place the salad on lettuce leaves or on other greens on individual plates for an attractive presentation.
Just before serving, sprinkle with chopped walnuts to give a crunchy and nutritious touch that complements the flavor.
