Comments: First had this salad in Switzerland...it was so good....i think cos my teacher made the mayo from scratch...
it's named 'Waldorf' salad cos it was invented by a chef in Hotel Waldorf Astoria in New York.
To use as a main course, add susuages and toss pasta through the salad. Can also add pineapple/ parsley...this is a very easily modifiable recipe.. :)
Next time, i will use raisins and perhaps a better quality (aka more egg than oil based) mayo n omit the lemon juice.
