00:00There was a time when you couldn't attend a shower in the south without a bowl of
00:03this on the table. Is it originally southern? No, it actually originated at the Waldorf Hotel
00:10in New York City around the 1890s or 1900s. Now, the original Waldorf Hotel salad started with just
00:17apples, celery, and mayonnaise, and it was a simple side dish appetizer. As the dish gained
00:22popularity throughout the country, other ingredients started popping in like grapes,
00:26walnuts or pecans, raisins, and even lettuce in some cases. To some people, it may be a little
00:32weird to put mayonnaise and fruit together, but for me, it's nostalgic and delicious and really nothing can beat it.
