Here is my variation of the classic Waldorf Salad created in the 1890s at New York’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel by its legendary maître d’, Oscar Tschirky. I use turkey instead of chicken and a creamy walnut oil and cider vinaigrette instead of heavier mayo. The original recipe in his 900+ page The Cook Book by Oscar of the Waldorf published 1986 reads as follows: “Peel 2 raw apples, cut into small pieces about ½-in. square, cut some celery the same way, and mix with the apple. Add ‘a good mayonnaise’.”
