"Waldorf salad is a mixture of apples, celery, and nuts blended with mayonnaise. It was developed by chef Oscar Tschirky at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in 1893, on the occasion of the very first Waldorf banquet given in the United States. The affair was a charity fundraiser organized by Mrs. William Vanderbilt."
