Storing Apples

Apples become soft much faster when stored at room temperature. Keep apples in plastic bags and away from other strong flavored foods.

Choosing Apples

Choose from the highest quality apple varieties your supermarket has to offer when making Waldorf salads. Buy one or two apples and make the salad special.
