KORU® Waldorf Cups

Servings: 10-12

Recipe supplied by: McGrath Nurseries "According to Wikipedia, The Waldorf Salad was first created between 1893 and 1896 at the Waldorf Hotel in New York City. Here’s a little twist serving the salad in lettuce leaves. These can be served as individual salads or appetizers. KORU® Apples are slow to brown, so you can prepare your salad ahead of time and store in the frig for several hours before serving, without using preservative on your apple!"

For a bit of difference, add crumbled blue cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked diced chicken or bacon bits.

1 KORU® Apple, cored and diced

10-12 Cos lettuce leaves, separated and rinsed

Method

  1. In a small bowl, stir together salad ingredients. Set aside for flavors to blend.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix all salad ingredients together except for lettuce leaves and toss with dressing.
  3. Spoon salad ingredients into lettuce cups.
  4. Garnish with parsley.
