Classic Waldorf Salad

mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt is lower in calories and higher in protein.

walnuts

🥗Healthier: almonds

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Almonds are a healthier nut option, while sunflower seeds are often more affordable.

Chop the Granny Smith apples into bite-sized pieces, leaving the peel on for texture and color.

Drizzle the chopped apples with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of sugar, then toss to coat the apples.

Cut 2 cups of grapes in half, either individually or by placing them between two plates and cutting with a serrated knife.

Dice 2 ribs of celery to get about 1 cup's worth and add that to the mixing bowl with the apples and grapes.

Toast 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 5-7 minutes until they deepen in color and are fragrant.

Let the toasted walnuts cool before adding them to the salad.

In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, mixing until well blended.

Add the cooled walnuts to the dressing, pour the dressing over the salad ingredients, and toss until everything is coated.

Cover the salad and chill until ready to serve.
