My mother makes the best Waldorf salad. Here's the raw and vegan version (replaces
chicken, potato and mayonnaise).

kohlrabi or jicama, in small cubes

salt & pepper to taste

2. Let stand for about 30 minutes.


3. Add the cubes of the second avocado.


4. Serve immediately.

Tips

• If you're not completely raw, you may want to add artichoke harts (cooked).


• I usually serve all ingredients in separate bowls. Then all
  family members can make their own salad and choose what
  they like. The kids love it this way.


• You can even add some non raw ingredients such as the
  artichoke harts for "cooked" members/guests.
