So THAT must be why it's called Waldorf salad! I never knew.
I like fresh halved grapes in place of rasins.
When I'm feeling festive I'll toss in a small (drained) can of mandarin oranges.
Melanie, yep-that's it!
June, me too on the grapes. I don't really like raisins except plain so I leave them out.
I never knew how it got its name - thanks!
I love Waldorf Salad, raisins and all, but no one else in my family does. I should make a small batch and take it with me for lunch at work! Thanks for the flashback!
This is a recipe that I make often, although probably not often enough. It is soo good.

Yep, I love to add grapes instead of raisins and when I'm *really* hungry, I add cubed chicken and cheddar cheese. Um, I guess that's no longer the classic Waldorf, though, is it? LOL
