Today’s recipe is an updated version of an old classic,
Waldorf Salad
Waldorf Salad was created for a special event held at the famous Waldorf-Astoria NYC hotel in 1896
Originally it was just apples, celery and mayonnaise, but over the years, nuts and grapes came to be standard ingredients also
Since I was only making a small amount of salad, I made it even easier by using washed grapes from the grocery store salad bar, and packaged fresh apple slices and celery sticks from the produce department
With a few chops the fruit and celery were ready to be dressed with healthy vanilla bean 2% Greek yogurt
Walnuts are the traditional nut in this salad, but I opted for pecans
Add as much yogurt as you like, stir, and refrigerate
Serve salad on a bed of lettuce or spinach leaves
Next time I’m going to try it with lemon yogurt!
