About the Recipe: The classic Waldorf salad originated in New York City, and featured lots of apples, celery, and grapes with its greens. Tara was inspired to add shaved apple, flavorful radicchio, and a light savory buttermilk dressing. She also added candied pecans rather than walnuts. The updated version is elegant and welcoming.
Recipe from: Tara Teaspoon, Tara Bench, Delicious Gathering, p. 67,
Shadow Mountain Publishing.
Note from Tara Teaspoon: Radicchio is a very strong, sometimes bitter leafy vegetable. I think it’s fantastic with tangy buttermilk and yogurt. But if you want a milder salad, opt for butter lettuce leaves
Prepare the Salad: Break or chop radicchio into pieces. Use a mandolin or slicer to thinly slice apple. Arrange radicchio, apple, celery, and grapes in a bowl, then top with chopped pecans. You can toss with the dressing and extra parsley at this point; or you can serve the salad with the dressing and parsley on the side so guests can dress their own salad. Serves: 6 to 8
