Which of the following salads includes apples?
A Waldorf salad is a fruit and nut salad generally made of fresh apples, celery, walnuts, and grapes, dressed in mayonnaise, and traditionally served on a bed of lettuce as an appetizer or a light meal. The apples, celery, and grapes can all be green, which harmonizes the color palette of the dish.
Waldorf salad is named for the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York City, where it was first created for a charity ball given in honor of the St. Mary's Hospital for Children on March 14, 1896.
The original recipe was just apples, celery, and mayonnaise. It did not contain nuts, but they had been added by the time the recipe appeared in "The Rector Cook Book" in 1928.

Joy Holbrook, LOL, thinking the same, about whether a Waldorf was a walnut that had gone off... :)

Love a Waldorf salad. After Christmas and Thanksgiving, I add some cooked turkey to make a
delicious main course served with a crispy bun.

If I want a salad (other than a fruit salad), it would be the the Waldorf.
