Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Celery stalks
- 1 large Granny Smith apple
- 1 cup Red seedless grapes
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened, full-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 pieces Romaine lettuce leaves (optional for serving)
Instructions
Wash and prepare all produce. Trim the ends from the celery stalks, then slice them into thin pieces. Core the Granny Smith apple and chop it into bite-sized cubes. Halve the grapes if desired.
Toast the chopped walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Add the celery, apple, grapes, and toasted walnuts to the bowl of dressing. Gently toss until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste the salad and adjust seasonings if needed, adding a little more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to balance the flavors.
Serve the salad immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to enhance the flavors. For a beautiful presentation, spoon the salad onto romaine lettuce leaves if desired.
Enjoy your Low Carb Waldorf Salad as a refreshing side dish or light meal!
