0:27
thing that I'm going to prepare is the
0:28
celery now I've already washed it and
0:30
I'm just going to cut lengthwise a few
0:35
strips and I really love to pull from
0:38
the inside of the celery to get this
0:40
nice leafy right there waldorf salad is
0:44
very
0:45
springlike perfect for Easter right
0:48

0:51
refreshing you don't have to bake or
0:54
cook anything now I'm going to be using
0:57
a full cup of diced
1:02
celery the leaves add such a look to the
1:07
salad all right you're going to want a
1:10
large mixing bowl we'll add that to
1:16
it there we
1:19
go all right we're going to add some
1:21
grapes
1:26
now I have a mix of red and green grapes
1:29
and we're going to half these
1:36
except for this one
1:40
y'all got to keep an eye on him those
1:43
were good they're good good
1:46
grapes now I've had somebody ask me if I
1:50
had a Waldorf salad i have lots of
1:53
salads out there and I went to go look
1:55
and I'm like I don't well we need to fix
1:58
that so I saw several different recipes
2:02
and kind of created what we like but
2:05
it's not far from what the original is
2:09
if there is one there's so many
2:10
different versions out there now I'm
2:13
going to be cutting up about one cup of
2:16
the grapes here
2:19
all right let's add
2:22
that into the bowl with our
2:30
celery now I'm going to take about 1/4
2:33
cup of parsley and I'm going to give it
2:35
a nice rough
2:41
chop now if you don't like parsley you
2:44
don't have to put it in
2:46
some recipes had it and some did
2:52
not oh it smells so fresh in there all
2:57
right let's talk about our apples i have
3:00
two Ambrosia apples here you can use any
3:03
type of apple you want it seems like the
3:05
most popular is the green Granny Smith
3:08
apples but Thomas doesn't go that way
3:11
but he does like the ambrosia so we'll
3:13
cut those you need two apples for this
3:16
or about two cups so I'm just going to
3:18
peel the
3:21
apple now if you don't want to peel your
3:24
apples you don't have to peel your
3:25
apples we're going to peel
3:29
them all right we got them both
3:34
peeled pass that on he might be nibbling
3:36
on these you know it
3:40
now you want just a little bowl of water
3:43
there and we're going to cut our apples
3:46
i'm just going to cut them along the
3:49
sides or if you have an apple core you
3:51
can use that but this was pretty quick
3:53
and already have the knife
3:56
here i'll give that to Thomas he'll
3:58
nibble on that too and I'm just going to
4:02
make big dices on the apples we want to
4:05
be able to get a nice crunch in our
4:08
salad all right now I'm going to add
4:11
something to the apples and I'm going to
4:12
let them sit there for just a minute to
4:15
soak up what I'm going to put in
4:20
there all
4:22
right two teaspoon of some lemon juice
4:26
woo uhoh there we
4:29
go all right let's clean that lemon
4:32
juice
4:33
up okay now we're going to talk about
4:36
the
4:37
nuts and I have some walnuts here and
4:40
I'm going to toast them lightly on my
4:43
burner just for about 30 seconds on each
4:46
side it'll get that aroma out of them
4:48
they'll smell
4:49
delicious all right we're going to place
4:51
our burner on a medium heat that way we
4:53
don't scorch our walnuts or sing
4:59
them when you can start smelling the
5:01
walnuts turn off the heat they smell
5:05
delicious you should use about two cups
5:08
now all your ingredients you can put in
5:10
as much of something as you want and as
5:12
little of anything else that you want
5:14
we're going to add this to our
5:19
salad let's bring our apples over just
5:22
