Waldorf Salad

Waldorf salad reminds me of my childhood.  It wasn't nearly this good: we ate a much simpler version with a lot more mayo in it.  I made this for dinner the other night, and it was all I needed.  (Hubby needed a veggie burger to go with it.)  You could also toss some veggie chick'n in it to make it more of a meal.   Perfect for a warm summer night.


1/2 cup yogurt
2 Tablespoons Vegenaise
2 Tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley (or 1 Tablespoon dried)
1 teaspoon honey
Zest of 1/2 lemon
Freshly ground black pepper
2 large organic apples, cored and chopped into bite size pieces
1 cup organic red grapes, sliced in half
2 celery ribs, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick pieces (leaves chopped)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Whisk the yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, honey, and lemon zest in a large bowl and season generously with pepper.  Add the apples, celery, grapes and walnuts to the bowl, mix and sprinkle with the lemon juice. Cover and refrigerate if not serving immediately.
