Blue Cheese Waldorf Salad

  • Prep 10 min
  • Total 1 hr 10 min
  • Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-fat mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 1 tablespoon finely crumbled blue cheese
  • 4 medium unpeeled red eating apples, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • Lemon juice
  • 2 cups tightly packed spinach leaves
  • 2 medium stalks celery, thinly sliced (1 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts, toasted

Steps

  • 1
    In small bowl, mix yogurt, mayonnaise and blue cheese until well blended. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend flavors.
  • 2
    Sprinkle apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning. In large bowl, toss apples and spinach. Spoon blue cheese mixture over salad. Sprinkle with celery and walnuts.

  • Although high in calories and fat, nuts provide lots of vitamin E. We need vitamin E as a protective agent against cell damage. The key is just not to go nuts with nuts!
  • To toast nuts, cook them in an ungreased heavy skillet over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until nuts are golden brown and you can smell the toasted aroma.
  • Save time (and a dirty bowl) by using purchased reduced-calorie blue cheese dressing.
