Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Granny Smith apples
- 1 cup Red seedless grapes
- 0.5 cup Dried tart cherries
- 2 stalks Celery
- 0.5 cup Candied pecans
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 leaves Leaf lettuce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Wash and dry the Granny Smith apples, grapes, and celery.
Core and dice the Granny Smith apples into small bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on for extra color and crunch. Place the diced apples in a large mixing bowl.
Slice the red seedless grapes in half and add them to the bowl with the apples.
Dice the celery stalks into small pieces and add them to the mixing bowl.
Add the dried tart cherries and candied pecans to the bowl with the other ingredients.
In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, honey, fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the yogurt dressing over the salad ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Gently toss everything together until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve the Waldorf Salad on its own or on a bed of fresh leaf lettuce for presentation. Enjoy!
