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
- 0.75 cups mayonnaise
- 0.25 cups creme fraiche
- ½ lemon , juiced
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped tarragon
- 0.5 teaspoons white sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
Instructions
-
1
Whisk mayonnaise, creme fraiche, lemon juice, tarragon, sugar, salt, black pepper, and cayenne together in a bowl.
-
2
Place apples, celery root, grapes, and walnut pieces in a large bowl. Toss with about 1/2 cup of dressing. Add more dressing until salad components are well coated but not swimming in dressing. You might not need all the dressing.

3
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Chef John's Kofta Kebabs
These grilled kofta kebab skewers made with a mix of ground beef and lamb are full of flavor, and one of my all-time favorite things to grill. They are basically a Mediterranean-style meatball on a stick. I know "shish" gets more love, but "kofta" might be the best kebab. Serve over a tomato, onion, and cucumber salad with flatbread or pita and a lemony tahini dressing.
Lemon Polenta Biscuits
These biscuits are both sweet and tart at the same time. They are one of the most requested recipes I make.
No-Tahini Hummus
Hands-down my most favorite dip!
