Ingredients

1/2 cup walnuts halves
1/2 cup non-fat yogurt
2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 lemon, zest finely grated
Freshly ground black pepper
2 large crisp apples, such as Gala
2 ribs celery (with leaves), sliced into 1/2-inch-thick pieces (leaves chopped)
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 head Boston lettuce, trimmed, washed, and dried

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degree F.

Spread the nuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool and break the nuts up into small pieces.

Whisk the yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, honey, and lemon zest in a large bowl and season generously with pepper.

Halve, core, and cut the apples into 3/4-inch pieces, leaving the skin intact. Add the apples, celery and raisins to the bowl, and sprinkle with the lemon juice; then toss with the dressing. Cover and refrigerate if not serving immediately.

When ready to serve, toss walnuts into the salad. Arrange the lettuce leaves on a large platter, or divide them among 4 salad plates. Place the salad on the lettuce and serve.

Good Basic Waldorf
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My husband and I both enjoyed the salad, even though I think I went overboard on the lemon, and I burned the nuts...I also... threw in some raspberries- it was delicious, and I'll make it as a simple side dish again!Read more

Well there are many Waldorf Salad Recipes.... many....
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I'm not sure what the original recipe looked like. Ours does not have any lettuce in it. It is a fruit salad. As I... understand food history the salad was originally formulated at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in NYC. I doubt they had any "low fat" items available then. But it is a great Holiday Favorite at our house. Primarily a Christmas festival food but we do round it up for family get togethers during the rest of the year when apples are in season. This rendition looks interesting but I don't think it will replace our standard version.Read more

Best Waldorf Salad
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this salad today. I substituted pecans for walnuts because two of the people who will be at a 4th of July party... tomorrow can't eat walnuts. I only had Vanilla Activa ff yogurt so I used that & it was terrific. I left out the parsley - I just didnt want any green flecks in it & I used two kinds of apples, gala and a Granny Smith. This is one of the BEST tasting salads; I can't wait to try it out on friends tomorrow. Read more
