The first Waldorf Salad was created at New York’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in 1896. It was an instant hit and soon became a classic for lunch and brunch!

The original shared some common ingredients with this recipe: juicy chunks of apple, sliced celery, and chopped nuts. However, we’ve introduced our version to the 21st century with the addition of cultured coconut milk (or full-fat Greek yogurt, if you prefer) and chai protein shake powder. They give it the protein the original recipe lacks, meaning you won’t have a carb crash after brunch ends.

Chai Waldorf Salad joins Freshly Juiced Jalapeno Bloody Mary; Individual Baked Breakfast Frittatas; and Turkey, Spinach, and Strawberry Wraps in our Classic Sunday Brunch menu.
