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!
