Recipe Courtesy of Carolina RiceThe original Waldorf salad was created in New York City’s Waldorf hotel in 1893, and it has been tantalizing taste buds with its clever combination of apples, celery, walnuts, and grapes ever since. This version uses rice (rather than chicken) to add some more depth and texture.
