Ingredients
- 2 pieces red apple
- 1 piece green apple
- 3 stalks celery stalks
- 1.5 cups red seedless grapes
- 1 cup walnuts
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 leaves romaine lettuce
Directions
Step 1
Wash the red apples, green apple, celery, and grapes thoroughly under cold running water.
Step 2
Core and dice the red and green apples into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on for added texture and color. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Chop the celery stalks into small, even pieces and add to the bowl with the apples.
Step 4
Slice the red seedless grapes in half and add them to the mixing bowl.
Step 5
Roughly chop the walnuts into smaller pieces (if desired) and toast them lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Allow to cool slightly before adding to the bowl.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Step 7
Pour the dressing over the fruit and nut mixture in the large bowl. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.
Step 8
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
When ready to serve, arrange the romaine lettuce leaves on a serving platter or individual plates and spoon the Waldorf Salad over the lettuce leaves.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your Holiday Waldorf Salad!
