Delicious and nutritious

A great combination of flavours that turn this simple salad into something really enjoyable.

A Waldorf salad is made of fresh lettuce, and apples dressed in mayonnaise and traditionally served on a bed of lettuce as an appetiser or a light meal. You can also add walnuts, and grapes if you prefer

If you don’t want to use mayonnaise, use  yogurt instead. You may need to add some honey to offset the added tartness of the yogurt.

Ingredients

1 medium ripe apple

1 stalk celery, chopped

¼ cup mayonnaise

Salt and pepper

2 cups lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces

Method

Peel the apple and cut into halves. Remove core and slice halves 1/4-inch thick. Reserve four slices. Cut remaining slices into thin strips.

In a medium bowl, mix celery, mayonnaise and apple strips; season with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange on lettuce and top with apple slices.

Expert tip: Later versions of the salad commonly added chopped walnuts. If you’d like, toss 1/4 cup of them in with the celery and apple.
