This is a traditional Waldorf salad made with apples, raisins, and walnuts and tossed with mayonnaise. We think of this as a harvest-time salad but all that is really required are good crisp apples. You can usually get good apples year around but if you don’t have good apples, don’t bother making a Waldorf salad.

- 1 cup chopped celery

Directions
