Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

This famous salad was invented by the maître d'hôtel of the Waldorf-Astoria in New York in the 1890s. Like most classics there's nothing to be gained by trying to jump it up, so don't be tempted to mess with it. Serve the salad as part of a buffet, as one of several salads as a starter selection or with a good chunk of cheese.

3 crisp apples
4 sticks of celery, peeled if stringy and a few leaves of the celery
80g walnuts, lightly toasted
3-4 tbsp homemade or good quality mayonnaise

Cut the apple into four, around the core and then cut into rough 2cm chunks. Cut the celery into similar size chunks and put them into a bowl with the apple and walnuts and celery leaves. Bind with the mayonnaise and serve.
