By Mrs. Henderson brought over a bag of fresh apples Saturday from her sister’s orchard. The recipe Sunday was a Waldorf salad — diced apples, celery, raisins, walnuts, all tossed in a yogurt-mayo dressing with lemon juice and a touch of honey.
The recipe is below.
Raisin Walnut Waldorf Salad
Prep Time: 15 min | Cook Time: 0 min | Total Time: 15 min | Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 3 large apples (one tart like Granny Smith, one sweet like Fuji), cored and diced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup seedless red grapes, halved
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup walnut halves, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- Salt to taste
- Romaine or butter lettuce leaves, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the apples. Dice the apples into bite-sized pieces and toss immediately with lemon juice in a large bowl to prevent browning.
- Combine the produce. Add the celery, grapes, raisins, and walnuts to the bowl with the apples and stir to combine.
- Make the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, honey, and cinnamon until smooth. Taste and add a pinch of salt if needed.
- Dress the salad. Pour the dressing over the apple mixture and fold gently until everything is evenly coated.
- Chill (optional but recommended). Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors come together.
- Serve. Spoon onto lettuce leaves for a classic presentation, or serve straight from a bowl family-style.
