I like this tangy sweetish salad. According to Wikipedia, the origins of the Waldorf Salad came from well, Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.

A Waldorf salad consists of julienned apple and celery, chopped walnuts, grapes, and mayonnaise or a mayonnaise-based dressing. The salad was first created around 1893 at the Waldorf Hotel in New York City (the precursor of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel which opened in 1931)

There is an elegant ring to the salad. Prepare this salad and place over a bed of lettuce.

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

8 apples, unpeeled (remove cored, chopped into chunks, around 6 cups)
2 tablespoons Kalamansi juice (or lemon juice)
1/4 cup raisins
2 stalks celery, chopped
1/2 cup walnuts (chopped but not too fine)
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup yogurt (plain)
2 tablespoons white sugar
lettuce
extra walnuts for toppings
