Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole crisp apples
- 1 cup red seedless grapes
- 3 whole celery stalks
- 0.5 cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 4 whole romaine lettuce leaves
Instructions
Wash the apples thoroughly under running water. Cut the apples into quarters, remove the cores, and dice them into small bite-sized pieces. Place the diced apples in a large mixing bowl.
Rinse the grapes under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut each grape in half and add them to the mixing bowl with the apples.
Wash the celery stalks, trim the ends, and chop them into small pieces (about 1/4 inch thick). Add the chopped celery to the bowl with the apples and grapes.
In a separate small mixing bowl, combine the low-fat mayonnaise and plain Greek yogurt. Add lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper, and whisk the ingredients together until smooth and well-integrated.
Pour the dressing over the apple, grapes, and celery mixture. Add the chopped fresh parsley. Gently toss everything together until the salad is evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding a bit more salt or pepper according to your preference.
To serve, arrange the romaine lettuce leaves on a serving platter or individual plates. Spoon the Waldorf salad mixture onto the lettuce leaves.
Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled, refreshing taste.
