Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
1 head romaine lettuce
1 grapefruit
1 firm but ripe Bosc pear, peeled, cored, diced
1 tart green apple (such as Pippin), peeled, cored, diced
1 cup seedless grapes, halved
1/3 cup chopped dates
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

  • Mix mayonnaise, yogurt, orange juice, orange peel and Cajun seasoning in small bowl to blend. (Dressing can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Line large bowl with large outer leaves of lettuce. Chop enough remaining leaves into bite-size pieces to measure 6 cups (reserve remaining lettuce for another use). Place chopped lettuce in another large bowl. Using small sharp knife, cut off peel and white pith from grapefruit. Cut between membranes to release grapefruit segments. Cut segments in half. Place in bowl with chopped lettuce. Add diced pear, diced apple, halved grapes and chopped dates. Add dressing to salad and toss to coat.
  • Transfer salad to leaf-lined bowl. Sprinkle salad with pine nuts and serve.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out terrible. The dressing was too thick, and the fruit was too sour. I guess I'll stick to ordering Waldorf salad from restaurants.

I'm not a big fan of cooking, but this salad was so easy to make. I just chopped up some fruit and vegetables, and tossed it with a dressing. It was ready in minutes, and it's delicious!

I'm gluten-free, so I used gluten-free bread crumbs in the dressing. It worked perfectly, and the salad is just as delicious as the regular version.

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I made this salad without the grapes and apples. It's still very good, and the celery and walnuts provide a nice crunch.

I made this salad vegan by using plant-based yogurt and omitting the honey. It turned out great! The flavors are still well-balanced, and the salad is just as creamy and delicious.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I was thrilled to find this recipe for a nut-free Waldorf salad. It's just as delicious as the traditional version, and I can finally enjoy this classic dish without worry.

I'm a purist when it comes to Waldorf salad, and this recipe is a bit too modern for my taste. I prefer the classic combination of apples, celery, walnuts, and mayonnaise. But I have to admit, this salad is still pretty good.

This salad is a lifesaver for busy weeknights. It's quick and easy to make, and it's always a hit with my family. I love that I can use whatever fruit I have on hand, so it's always different.
