Cheesey Waldorf Salad
by Maggie Davis, MS, RD, LDN, FADA, CDE

You can put these in small containers to be eaten with a fork or you can pack a couple of Boston lettuce leaves in a plastic bag and divide the salad portion onto the 2 leaves to make a lettuce wrap at school or work…

• 1 large Granny Smith apple, unpeeled and chopped coarsely
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1 large celery stalk, chopped coarsely
• 2 Tbsp coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans
• 2 Tbsp craisins or 20 red grapes cut in half
• 2 ounces low fat cheddar cheese
• 2 Tbsp fat free plain greek yogurt
• 1 Tbsp low fat mayo type salad dressing

• Sprinkle the apple chunks with lemon juice and toss (to prevent browning)
• Add the celery, nuts, fruit and cheese and toss together
• Mix the yogurt and mayo together (you can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or apple pie spice or a chopped green herb such as parsley if you like)
• Add the dressing and toss
