Waldorf Salad a la Helen

  • Equal parts granny smith and red delicious apples, cut into small pieces (about 1")
  • Celery, chopped into similar sized pieces
  • Raisins
  • Bananas, sliced, about as much in volume as 2/3 of the volume of one
  • Kind of apple
  • Mayonnaise (NOT miracle whip -- I use Hellman's light) - enough to lightly coat the fruit and celery
Optional:
Pear, chopped in similar sizes
Chopped pecans

Put in big bowl, mix/toss. Serve either in a small bowl, on a plate on a big lettuce leaf, or in the big bowl to pass around, depending on how formal you're feeling.

My mom doesn't use bananas, but has been known to use mandarin oranges instead. She also uses walnuts instead of pecans...

This dish is necessary for Tday or Xmas dinner to be real (for me). We're not having it this year b/c a) it's DH's birthday, and he's feeling a bit left out on that front ... so I'm making a BIRTHDAY feast not a TDAY feast; and b) it's only going to be the four of us at dinner -- which makes it feel less Tday-ish to me anyway ... I like a big feast w/ family or friends ... a gathering ...)
