Salade aurore

Salade aurore is given in Escoffier’s 1903 Le Guide Culinaire. When we look at the ingredients, we can see that this is a possible forerunner to the Waldorf salad. Aurore is simpler and has rough-and-ready dressing. It is lovely though.

      Fab. It is very nice. We also have the original Waldorf salad on here, which is probably the Aurore’s offspring.
