Waldorf salad is the best choice if you want to have a healthy, light lunch or dinner even in winter.
The Waldorf salad was first created in the 19th century by the chef of the Waldorf Hotel. Originally, it consisted only of celery stalks, apples and mayonnaise; later, nuts, raisins and grapes were added, and nowadays we cannot even imagine this delicious salad without the add-ons. Sweet apples and grapes harmonize perfectly with the tangy celery. If you do not have grapes, you can also add raisins to your salad.
