Chef Johns Waldorf Salad

Chef Johns Waldorf Salad

A fruit salad has to be pretty darn good to actually get a name, and the venerable Waldorf salad is certainly worthy. Embellish this as you see fit, but I really like it best with just the four ingredients seen here. Things like dried cranberries can add a nice seasonal touch but, for me, the chewy fruit gets in the way of that addictive crunchy/crisp texture.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup mayonnaise

  • ¼ cup creme fraiche

  • ½ lemon, juiced

  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped tarragon

  • ½ teaspoon white sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

  • 2 large crisp, sweet apples, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

  • 1 cup cubed (1/4 inch) celery root, soaked briefly in cold water, drained well

  • 1 cup quartered seedless green grapes

  • ½ cup toasted walnut pieces
