Waldorf Salad - No Mayonnaise image

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. If you don't have ripe pears, use canned. You may peel the apples and pears if desired. The cooking time includes time to cool down the cooked cider.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The apples and grapes are sweet, the walnuts are crunchy, and the yogurt dressing is tangy. It's the perfect salad for a light lunch or dinner.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover apples and grapes. It's also a healthy and refreshing side dish.

Overall, I thought this salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The yogurt dressing was too runny for my taste. I would have preferred a thicker, creamier dressing.

I found this salad to be a bit bland. It needed more salt and pepper, and maybe some additional herbs or spices.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a different type of dressing, like a vinaigrette.

I'm not usually a fan of Waldorf salad, but this recipe changed my mind. The yogurt dressing is so light and refreshing, and the apples and grapes add a nice sweetness. I'll definitely be making this again.

This salad was delicious! I used a Granny Smith apple and red grapes, and the tartness of the apple paired perfectly with the sweetness of the grapes. The walnuts added a nice crunch, and the yogurt dressing was the perfect finishing touch.

I've always been a fan of Waldorf salad, but this recipe is my new favorite. The yogurt dressing is so much better than mayonnaise, and the addition of grapes and walnuts really takes it to the next level.
