Time 10m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 -2 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
1 green apple
1 red apple
1/2 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup craisins
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

Steps:

Dice both apples into small pieces and leave skin on.
Add celery, craisans and walnuts. Add as much vanilla yogurt as you desire.
Chill and serve.

Tips:

To make the dressing, use low-fat mayonnaise or Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. For a tangy twist, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.
Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Gala are good choices.
Don't add the nuts and raisins until just before serving to prevent them from getting soggy.
For a healthier version, use whole-wheat bread or crackers instead of white bread or crackers.
For a vegan version, omit the mayonnaise or Greek yogurt and use a plant-based milk instead of dairy milk.

Conclusion:

Waldorf salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a light lunch, a side dish, or a snack. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. With its creamy dressing, crisp apples, and crunchy walnuts and raisins, Waldorf salad is a classic for a reason. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying salad, give this recipe a try.
