Today's recipe is a healthier take on the Waldorf salad we grew up with - apples, walnuts, grapes, and I recently found out that MAYONNAISE is the glue that holds it all together.
Now that I'm all grown up (and informed), I just can't bring myself to slather a bunch of perfectly good fruit with mayo. With some help from my brother, I came up with this healthy and delicious recipe as a replacement.
Ingredients:
2 apples (not red delicious - something flavorful, like Fuji or even green apples)
1 large bulb fennel (about the size of 1.5 apples)
1 cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup green grapes
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
Chop apples and the white part of the fennel into large pieces. I advise if you've never had fennel, try a bite before you chop everything else up, in case you really don't like it. If you are even close to liking it, I guarantee it will taste better once it's mixed with everything else. Slice grapes into halves or quarters.
Add all ingredients to a large bowl and mix well. Serve cold and keep any leftovers in the refrigerator. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
