Waldorf Salad

The salad was first created between 1893 and 1896 at the Waldorf Hotel in New York City

In 1896, Waldorf Salad appeared in The Cook Book by 'Oscar of the Waldorf'; the original recipe did not contain nuts, but they had been added by the time the recipe appeared in the Rector Cook Book in 1928.Cole Porter featured it in his song "You're the Top" made it so popular.
