Waldorf Salad

Yay, another apple recipe!

This one is a lighter version of the Waldorf salad, made with apples, grapes, walnuts, and celery. After trying it for the first time, I decided it would be even better with chunks of chicken! This helped to balance out the sweetness of the apples and grapes. It's very tasty over a bed of lettuce, on a slice of whole wheat bread, or on it's own as a side dish (or main dish).

It was very easy to make and took almost no time to put together.  Instead of a fatty mayonaise dressing, I used yogurt, milk and lemon juice.  


Waldorf Salad

  • 1 cup chopped apples
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup halved grapes
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup walnut pieces
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup julienned carrots
  • 1/4 cup plain, non-fat greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons milk (I used unsweetened almond milk)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, chopped (optional)
Combine apples, celery, grapes, walnuts, and carrots. In a separate bowl whisk together dressing ingredients. Combine with apple mixture, then add chicken.
