• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the fruit and vegetables. Core and dice both the Granny Smith and red apple into bite-sized pieces. There is no need to peel the apples unless preferred.

Step 2

Wash and slice the celery stalks thinly. Slice the red seedless grapes in half.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, sliced celery, halved grapes, and chopped walnuts.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat plain yogurt, lemon juice, honey, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined. This will be your dressing.

Step 5

Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and gently toss until all the ingredients are well coated.

Step 6

Serve the Waldorf salad over a bed of mixed salad greens on individual plates or a large serving platter.

Step 7

Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Stir gently before serving if refrigerated.
