Waldorf salad is a classic American salad that was first created in the late 1800s at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. The original recipe included apples, celery, walnuts, and mayonnaise. Over the years, many variations of Waldorf salad have been created, but the basic ingredients remain the same. This ketogenic Waldorf salad is a low-carb version of the classic recipe. It's made with celery root instead of apples, and it's dressed with a creamy Greek yogurt or sour cream dressing instead of mayonnaise. This salad is just as delicious as the original, but it's much lower in carbs and calories.
