Another VT recipe that sounds too good to lose. This is a lightened up version of Waldorf Salad that uses yogurt iinstead of mayonnaise and also, for a surprise treat, includes pears.

MODERN WALDORF SALAD

A refreshing, low fat, no mayonnaise waldorf salad. My mom used to make a version of this in the '50's. This is so good and good for you. The first time you make this, I would add the vinegar a little at a time to get the tartness that's right for you. If you don't like vinegar you can substitute lemon juice or a combination of both.
