Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium fresh apples
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 medium celery stalks
- 1 cup red seedless grapes
- 1 cup walnuts
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups leafy greens (such as lettuce or spinach)
Instructions
Start by washing all the produce thoroughly.
Core and chop the apples into bite-sized pieces. Place them in a large bowl.
Add the lemon juice to the apples and toss them gently to prevent browning.
Chop the celery stalks into small pieces and add them to the bowl with apples.
Halve the grapes and add them to the mixture.
Roughly chop the walnuts and toast them lightly in a pan on medium heat for about 3-5 minutes to enhance their flavor. Allow them to cool slightly before adding them to the salad.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well-blended. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Pour the yogurt dressing over the apple mixture and toss everything together until all the ingredients are well coated.
Place the leafy greens on a serving platter or individual plates.
Spoon the Waldorf salad mixture over the greens just before serving for a wonderful crunch and fresh presentation.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free classic Waldorf salad!
