Waldorfsalat – Waldorf Salad

December 1, 2017 by mydanishkitchen

Waldorfsalat

Waldorf salad was invented around 1893 – 1896 at the Hotel Waldorf in Manhattan NY. Danes have since then taken this wonderful salad to heart. It’s enjoyed mostly during the fall and winter months and in some families it may also be found on the Christmas table. There are of course many variations of this salad. It can be made with mayonnaise or yogurt and in Denmark some may also add a little whipped cream to the dressing. It can be served as an appetizer or as a side dish to game. This recipe comes from my sister Jonna who makes a “knaldgod” or fabulous Waldorf salad. Enjoy!

Waldorf Salad

Ingredients: 

2 1/2 deciliter Creme Fraiche (212 g or 7.5 oz)

1 1/2 tablespoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

juice from a small 1/2 lemon

3 celery stalks

400 gram grapes (14 oz)

100 gram walnuts (5.3 oz)

2 apples (I use Honeycrisp apples)

Directions:

Combine Creme Fraiche, sugar, salt and lemon juice, set aside. Clean and cut celery into small pieces. Cut grapes into halves. Chop walnuts into small pieces. Leaving the peel on the apples, dice them into bite size pieces. Add celery, grapes, walnuts and apples to Creme Fraiche. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve. Serve on a bed of Boston lettuce or decorate with celery leaves, top with walnuts. Enjoy!

    Hello Gitte. So glad I have found your blog – and your salad looks wonderful!
    I am most interested in your Kringel recipe. This is something we would have every Christmas Eve for breakfast with good strong coffee. We always have a Danish Christmas each year.
    We had a Danish Bakery here in the town we live in that makes authentic Danish baked pastrys/cakes etc. – incredibly delicious.
    I have not had Danish Kringel in 20 years! after the discovery of being a Celiac. However, I will try to convert your recipe to gluten free and convert the measurements too. Thank you for sharing the Kringle recipe….so excited to try!!!

      Ina, unfortunately I don’t know anything about gluten free but I hope you can get a good recipe out of your conversion. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
