Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 tablespoon natural yogurt dairy or non dairy
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 apple cored and cut into 1 cm cubes
  • 4 sticks celery cut into 1 cm pieces
  • 2 tablespoon sultanas
  • 2 tablespoon walnuts quartered

Instructions
 

  • Add the yogurt, olive oil and seasoning to a large bowl. Stir carefully to blend (be gentle so that the mixture emulsifies smoothly).
    4 tbsp natural yogurt, 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper to taste
  • Add the chopped apple, celery, sultanas and walnuts and mix well. Ensure the chopped apple is coated in the dressing as soon as it is cut to stop it from going brown.
    2 apple, 4 sticks celery, 2 tbsp sultanas, 2 tbsp walnuts
  • Serve immediately, or store in the fridge for up to a day.

Notes

If you want to enjoy your healthy Waldorf salad as a light meal, why not try one of the following:
  • Add some cubes of cheddar cheese
  • Or try a chicken waldorf salad by adding some pieces of cooked chicken
  • I regularly have a tuna waldorf salad for my lunch. Just stir in a well drained can of tuna
  • If you'd prefer a vegan salad, add more nuts or roasted chickpeas
If you prefer, use fresh grapes rather than sultanas.
