I haven't yet planned what to do for dinner tomorrow, but I felt I needed something light and crispy to accompanied whatever I may decide to make, so I needed versatility and flavour.
At the same time I wanted to give something to my sister to try something new that she had not tried yet, as she just came from Portugal a few weeks ago. At this moment celery popped up to my mind and instantly salad, what better than Waldorf salad.Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 celery heart
- 2 apples (green is better, as sourness is needed )
- 1 hand full of raisins
- 100grs walnuts
- 1 soup spoon of sugar
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 glug of port wine
- 4 soup spoons of mayonnaise
- juice of one half of lemon
After washing well, thinly slice the celery sticks into a bowl, then peal quarter and thinly slice the apples, after that break the walnuts into small pieces and put the raisins in too.
At this point add the rest the sugar, lemon juice, port wine & salt and pepper, mix all very well, place it in a glass or ceramic container and refrigerate for 12 hours, I feel this is important as it allows some juices to blend into the sauce, give it a stir prior to serving to blend in the flavour and serve it with your main dish or eat it on it's own. As an accompaniment should be enough for 8 people.
