The image you provided appears to show a Waldorf Salad – a classic fruit and nut salad known for its crisp, refreshing ingredients. Here’s a recipe you can try based on what I see in the photo:
🥗 Waldorf Salad Recipe with a Twist
Ingredients:
- 2 apples (1 red, 1 green), diced
- 1 cup celery, chopped
- 1/2 cup red grapes, halved (or use dried cranberries like in the photo)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (toasted for extra flavor)
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries (or raisins)
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise (or a mix of both)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to prevent apples from browning)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds (as seen in the photo)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prep the ingredients: Dice the apples and toss them with lemon juice in a large bowl. This prevents browning and adds a bit of tartness.
- Mix it up: Add chopped celery, grapes or dried cranberries, chopped pecans, and any other fruits you like (optional: pineapple chunks, pears, etc.).
- Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt (or mayo), honey/maple syrup (if using), poppy seeds, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Combine: Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.
- Chill: Let the salad sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
Optional Add-ins:
- Diced chicken or turkey for a protein-packed version
- Chopped fresh herbs (parsley or mint)
- Orange or mandarin slices
