5. When I was...

Growing up in New England, we had Waldorf salad but I have never seen it anywhere near any kind of greens other than celery and marshmallows in a salad, hmmm. And, in our family, we never made Waldorf unless Macintosh apples were available for this purpose.



The sauce is made of mayo/sour cream and some sweetener. I never saw a variant until I was in my 30s and pretty well traveled by then.

I love apples in green salads, though, they make it much more interesting and tasty, so do nuts.

Sounds like you have a good set of favorite flavors going on, and that's what counts! Enjoy, you've inspired me to go make something salad-like for lunch!
