Mini Waldorf Salad in Phyllo Cups

I catered a memorial yesterday and sometimes in life I believe that we don’t always make decisions on our own.  My client had mentioned to me that when I had emailed her three different menus for this outdoor space that the mini Waldorf salad in phyllo cups jumped out of the page at her and that she immediately had to have them on the menu.  She had mentioned that Waldorf salad was a constant joke from a beloved British show “Faulty Towers” that she and her husband used to enjoy together.  I had replied to her that the Waldorf salad cups that I had put on the suggested menu for her was the first time I had offered that to a client. I always enjoy creating new menu items and sometimes I’m not sure where the inspiration comes from but this time, I’m sure it was a divine one for sure.

These phyllo cups combine the flaky crunchy mini cup to hold this classic salad so it’s much easier to enjoy this salad as a petite appetizer.  Serve at many different parties or casual get-together and your guests will be amazed at your little sophisticated offering while licking their lips in joy.
