Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces celery stalks
- 1 medium green apple
- 1 medium red apple
- 0.5 cup walnuts
- 1 cup seedless red grapes
- 0.75 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large romaine lettuce leaves
Instructions
Wash and dry the celery, apples, and grapes thoroughly.
Chop the celery stalks into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
Core and chop the green and red apples into small cubes, leaving the skin on for added fiber and color.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped celery and apples.
Slice the seedless red grapes in half and add them to the mixing bowl.
Lightly toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are aromatic, then chop them coarsely. Add these to the bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the fruits and nuts in the large mixing bowl and gently toss until everything is well coated.
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
After chilling, prepare the serving plates by laying down large romaine lettuce leaves as a bed.
Spoon the Waldorf salad mixture onto the lettuce leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb Waldorf Salad!
