Here’s another salad recipe from my Grandma Smalley. Again, word-for-word from her. I’ve tried making this before and it never tastes quite as good.

I used to shred the carrots but it took so long. I started dumping chunks of them into the food processor and chopping them – not too fine, but it’s much quicker. If I do it that way, I try to remember to dump the peanuts in first and get them chopped up a little, then add the carrot chunks and process to the size you want it. Then add however many raisins you want.

Dress with mayo, with a little sugar and thinned with milk. (If you don’t use salted peanuts you’ll probably need to add some salt)

I love my Grandma’s (Smalley) waldorf salad. I saw her recently and asked her for the recipe. Here is what she gave me. After I saw this I told her, “where are the tiny marshmallows?” as that is my most favorite part. She said, “just dump a bunch in there…that’s all I do”.

It’s basically a good eating apple – we always have Red Delicious on hand. A couple good sized apples, diced, and a stalk of celery chopped. Whatever kind of grapes you like (remove the seeds) and some nuts. I like walnuts – is the basic mixture. We like raisins, so I toss some in and if I want to make it a little larger I might drain a can of mandarin oranges and add those.

Dress with mayo with maybe a teaspoon of sugar and a tablespoon of milk stirred together.
