Spicy Waldorf Salad in Grape Fruit Bowls

The Waldorf salad was created by New York City’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in the late 1800s. Waldorf salad is traditionally made with apples, celery, walnuts and mayonnaise but a variety of other ingredients are added according to personal preferences.

I add grape fruit juice and segments to my Waldorf salad because I love citrus and try to incorporate oranges and grapefruits into a lot of my recipes when they are in season.
Personally, I love the smell and taste of grape fruits but if you are not that much into them, you can use oranges instead.

It’s a spicy, zesty twist to the traditional Waldorf Salad. Enjoy !
