Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Red apple
- 1 medium Green apple
- 2 stalks Celery
- 1 cup Seedless grapes
- 0.5 cup Walnuts
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
Instructions
Start by washing the apples, celery, and grapes thoroughly under cold running water.
Core and chop the red and green apples into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on for color and crunch.
Chop the celery stalks into thin slices.
Halve the seedless grapes. If they are large, consider cutting them into quarters.
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts for about 5 minutes until they are golden and fragrant, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
Add the chopped apples, celery, and grapes to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold the ingredients until everything is well coated with the dressing.
Roughly chop the toasted walnuts and add them to the salad, stirring gently to incorporate.
Arrange the lettuce leaves on a serving platter or individual plates.
Spoon the Waldorf salad over the lettuce leaves, dividing it evenly among the servings.
Serve the salad immediately or chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
