It's a "tart combination of apple and celery" and "[t]his famous salad was created at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York." And so we are informed by the intro the recipe in Reader's Digest Creative Cooking (1977). The recipe calls for letting the salad stand for at least 30 minutes. Accompanying the recipe is an illustration of a serving suggestion: "Line a serving bowl with the clean and chilled lettuce leaves, pile the salad into the center, and garnish with the apple slices." The apple a slices are fanned out around the perimeter of the piled salad. Simple and attractive.
