Modern waldorf salad

Modern waldorf salad

An updated version of the classic waldorf salad! Fresh, crunchy and crispy, with added celery and a spicy blue cheese cream.

Instructions

Step 1
  • Mix the cheese gently with the crème fraîche until the cream is smooth. Scoop the cream into a syringe bag and put it in the fridge.
Step 2
  • Put celery, eggs, vinegar, salt and pepper in a blender and blend into a smooth, thick cream. Gradually add oil so that the egg slowly absorbs it. Season to taste. If the cream is too thick you can add a little water until the texture is like a thick mayonnaise. Scoop the mixture into a bag and place it in the refrigerator.
Step 3
  • Cut small pieces of bread into the desired crouton size. Drench the bread slices with oil and salt. Place them on a sheet of baking paper and bake them in the middle of the oven for approximately 10 minutes at 200° until golden and crispy.
Step 4
  • Put all the ingredients - except the oil - in a thick-bottomed pan and bring to a boil. Cook until the syrup thickens, for approximately 2 minutes.
Step 5
  • Drain the nuts in a sieve throroughly. Pour the oil into a thick-bottomed pan and heat it. Fry the nuts in small portions for about 1 minute until golden and crispy. Carefully take them out of the oil with an oven glove. Allow them to drain well and place them to cool on a layer on a piece of baking paper (not a paper towel).
Step 6
  • Cut celery thinly, for example on a mandolin or another slicer. Place the slices into ice-cold water to make them extra curly and crispy. You can cut the apples into balls with a melon baller. Or cut the apples into small cubes. Halve the grapes.
Step 7
  • Take the leaf celery out of the water and dry it well in a towel. Arrange the salad portions on plates - first the meat, then the grapes and apple balls.
Step 80
  • Plate the nuts and leaf celery and finally place small "dips" of the two creams in between the other ingredients. Sprinkle with bread croutons.
Enjoy!
