Waldorf Salad

For supper I made Waldorf Salad. No dressing.

If it has no dressing, is it really Waldorf Salad? Or just a bunch of cut-up stuff in a bowl?

The basics of Waldorf Salad, leaving aside the question of dressings, are: apples, nuts, celery. My nut of choice is pecans, but walnuts are good too.

You can add things to Waldorf Salad and it only makes it better. In England they added green grapes and called it California Salad.  Green grapes  make it sweeter, which is nice.

You can add chopped dates, which makes it richer and sweeter both.

You can add avocadoes, which makes it blander but pretty.

You can add strawberries, which makes it downright exotic and threatens to turn it into Fruit Salad.

You can add cut up orange slices but see above.

You can add pineapple, ditto.

Or just add them all and eat up. It's delicious! 

YAZZYBEL  oh..I forgot to write my haiku. Shall we try it with Waldorf Salad?
