It's been so hot in San Diego, I thought a Waldorf Salad would be an easy recipe.
We have fresh apples from the garden that I used for the salad.
I love my Portmeirion Bowl, The Botanic Garden circa 1818 collection. It has such a pretty pattern with the flowers and bumblebee in the center. Perfect for the Waldorf Salad.
I found this recipe from Food Network

Ingredients
Salad:
- 1 medium apple, unpeeled, chopped
- Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
- 2 cups diced cooked chicken (about 1 large breast)
- 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
- 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- 1/2 cup toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped
Dressing:
- 3/4 cup yogurt (preferably Greek non-fat)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- Juice of 1/2 orange (about 1/4 cup)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
Serving suggestion: Baby greens, extra grapes, raisins and walnuts for garnish
Coat the chopped apple with the lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the chicken, grapes, celery, raisins and walnuts, and gently combine.
In a small bowl, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, orange juice and salt. Gently fold the dressing into the salad. Serve on a bed of greens.
Lemons from the garden.

ReplyDeleteAll that fresh produce right from your garden must be heaven! Your salad looks delicious. Even Peter Rabbit wants a taste. :@
ReplyDeleteYour garden is doing so well. I would love to have these things fresh from my own garden. The salad looks great and we love having salads in the summer. I never see anyone make their own lemon water. We do this instead of buying many cold drinks. I love making it.
