Waldorf Salad

Here is my recipe for this weekend

Waldorf Salad ~ modernized ~

Waldorf salad actually dates back to 1896 when made at the New York's Waldorf Astoria Hotel.  There are a gazillion variations.  I remember having this at parties and stuff as a kid.  Then it resurfaced as a dish I could make for Barry to get his fruits and walnuts (omega-3) in.  So here is my latest version.

• 2-3 apples, chopped in small pieces
• 1 stalk celery, chopped
• 1/2 cup grapes, sliced in half
• 3 tsp. lemon juice
• 1/3 cup yogurt (plain or your choice flavored)
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup walnuts

Chop the apples in a bowl.  Pour the lemon juice over and toss.  Add the celery.  Cover these with your yogurt and cinnamon.  Add your sliced grapes and stir.  Put your walnuts in a ziploc bag and smash into small pieces.  Add to the salad and stir.  Refrigerate.

This is one of those picnic salads or church salads.  And some people add chopped chicken or tuna in for the whole meal!!
