"WaldorfSalad" news and stories

The chicken Waldorf salad goes East, with garam masala and coriander seed. In blogger arsheffield's recipe, pomegranate seeds add a tart crunch, and red grapes, a smooth, sweetness. He builds on the textures with green bell peppers and celery, and even tosses in some parsley for color and subtle flavor.

Waldorf chicken salads make the most of fruit. In this Kitchen Daily recipe, raisins, dates, apples or pears and even cranberry sauce is in the mix, along with toasted almonds.

I saw this recipe in an old issue of Cooking Light (from 2003) that I had lying around and it immediately caught my eye. Why I didn't make it the first time I saw it, I'll never know, but I'm glad I did it now.

Waldorf salad isn't something that you see too often, but the combination of apples, raisins, celery and walnuts is not only addictive, but crunchy and satisfying. Coleslaw, too, is crunchy and refreshing, which is why it is such a popular side to accompany rich and meaty meals. Of course, both salads are slathered in mayo, so they're not exactly healthy foods despite having low-cal ingredients. This is one of the reasons why I liked the Cooking Light recipe, since it eliminates a lot of the fat but still tastes great. Combining the elements of the two salads into Waldorf Coleslaw worked beautifully.
