The Waldorf Hysteria

 

Ingredients

· 2 ginger gold apples

· 1 red delicious apple

· 3 tablespoons cider vinegar

· 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

· 1 pinch black pepper, freshly ground

· 2 1/2 ounces of walnuts, toasted and chopped

· 5 1/2 ounces olden raisins

· 2 teaspoons curry powder

· 2 celery ribs, thinly sliced on the bias

· 10 mint leaves, chiffonade

· 1/2 small onion, frenched

· 1 cup mayonnaise

· 1 head romaine lettuce, heart only

 

Steps

1) Cut the apples in half (don’t peel them) and use a melon baller to scrape out the core; dice the apples, tossing them in a large mixing bowl with the vinegar as you work.

2) Add the salt and pepper and all the bits and pieces (except the lettuce), then fold in the mayonnaise

3) Although you can serve this straightway, I’d cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to mingle. When serving, arrange a couple of romaine leaves on the plate and pile the good stuff on top.
