Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple
- 1 medium Red apple
- 2 large Celery stalks
- 1 cup Red seedless grapes
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup Low-fat plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Instructions
Start by preparing the fruit and vegetables. Core and dice both the Granny Smith and red apple into bite-sized pieces. There is no need to peel the apples unless preferred.
Wash and slice the celery stalks thinly. Slice the red seedless grapes in half.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, sliced celery, halved grapes, and chopped walnuts.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat plain yogurt, lemon juice, honey, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined. This will be your dressing.
Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and gently toss until all the ingredients are well coated.
Serve the Waldorf salad over a bed of mixed salad greens on individual plates or a large serving platter.
Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Stir gently before serving if refrigerated.
