Apple Walnut Salad in Orange Vanilla Sauce

Hello and Welcome Back to Great Chow !

I present to you Apple Walnut Salad in Orange Vanilla Sauce.

Introduction:

Apple Walnut Salad is one of my favorite health foods during the spring,summer and fall. It is loaded with apples, grapes, celery, golden and regular raisins tossed in a vanilla and orange sauce. This recipe is healthy variation a How to make the famous Waldorf Salad.  The sauce is comprised of 6 oz vanilla yogurt and a freshly squeezed large navel orange. This salad is more of a chutney with is like a chunky salsa. Like all recipes, it can be customized to your liking. If you do not like celery, just use more grapes! I always view a recipe as a just a tasty guideline and can be revised as you wish.

Serving Suggestions:

Honestly It is one of my favorite ” go to ” treats before or after a workout or just as a guilt free snack during the day. Yes I will eat it straight out of the bowl !
