Categories Salad
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Dice one apple, place the pieces in a bowl, and add a couple good squeezes of lemon juice (either fresh or from concentrate). Add 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese into the bowl. Add 2 stalks chopped celery and a very small handful of toasted chopped walnuts or other nuts (check out Spicy Nuts (Snacks, Chapter 24). Add dash of sea salt, black pepper, and shake in some chili flakes. Combine ingredients with a fork or spoon.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your salad will taste. Look for fresh, ripe fruits and vegetables, and use high-quality nuts and cheese.
- Don't overcook the chicken: If you overcook the chicken, it will become dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Use a light hand with the mayonnaise: Mayonnaise can easily overpower the other flavors in the salad. Use just enough to bind the ingredients together.
- Add the grapes and walnuts at the end: This will help to prevent the grapes from becoming soggy and the walnuts from becoming soft.
- Serve the salad immediately: Waldorf salad is best served fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
Conclusion:
Waldorf salad is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its combination of sweet, savory, and crunchy flavors, Waldorf salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
