Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized, crisp (such as Granny Smith or Fuji) apple
- 2 stalks celery
- 1 cup, seedless red or green grapes
- 0.5 cup, chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup, low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 leaves, for serving (optional) leaf lettuce
Instructions
Start by washing all fresh produce under cool running water.
Core and dice the apples into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on for additional nutrients and fiber.
Dice the celery stalks into small, even pieces.
Halve the grapes if they are large, or leave them whole if they are small.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, celery, grapes, and chopped walnuts.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and honey until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and toss gently until the ingredients are well combined and evenly coated.
If desired, line a serving platter or individual plates with leaf lettuce.
Spoon the Waldorf salad onto the prepared plates or platter.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to one hour to allow flavors to meld before serving.
