Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Red apple
- 2 stalks Celery stalks
- 1 cup Seedless red grapes
- 0.5 cup Walnuts
- 0.5 cup Vanilla yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 6 pieces Ice cream cones
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry the apples, then dice them into small bite-sized pieces. Leave the skin on for color and texture.
Slice the celery stalks thinly to add a fresh crunch.
Cut the grapes in half if they're large, or leave them whole if they're smaller.
Roughly chop the walnuts.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, sliced celery, halved grapes, and chopped walnuts.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the vanilla yogurt, honey, and lemon juice to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and toss everything gently to coat evenly.
Using a spoon, carefully fill each ice cream cone with the Waldorf salad mixture, ensuring the cone is packed but not overfull.
Garnish with a fresh mint leaf on top of each cone for a pop of color and fresh aroma (optional).
Serve immediately, or refrigerate the salad mix and assemble cones just before serving to prevent the cones from becoming soggy.
