Classic Waldorf Salad dish over a bed of scratch .
Classic Waldorf Salad served over a bed of lettuce.
raise up I would always help my female parent in the kitchen . I was the sea captain at peeling potato . But when it came to Waldorf salad it was my job to cut each grape in half lengthwise and remove the seeds .
Yes , the grapeshot back then all had seeds . And look back , my job would have been a band good if seedless grape were available .
I used asmall starter spoonto scoop the seed out of each and every grapevine . I was very measured , inspecting every grape half to be sure that I did n’t overlook any .
Before seedless grapes were readily available it was my job to remove the seeds.
My biggest fear was that someone would prick into a seed and/or finish up strangle on one and it be my fault .
Before seedless grapes were readily available it was my occupation to transfer the seeds .
But to be honest , by the closing of the job , I was a little less careful about withdraw every picayune seed . This was a very tedious task and as a young girl the fallal of helping in the kitchen quickly wore off .
