Waldorf salad, oddly enough, was invented not by a chef or restaurateur, but by the Waldorf's hotel maître d', Oscar Tschirky. Created to honor the hotel's 1893 opening, this salad is served with countless variations. This recipe is a simple but appealing combination of apples and celery pieces.—Marcy Goldman-Posluns, Chicago TribuneThis recipe is from ''Oscar of the Waldorf's Cookbook'' (Dover Pubns, 1973) by Oscar Tschirky, and was originally published in the Chicago Tribune.
