waldorf salad

core and chop 4 crisp, green apples into bite size pieces. sprinkle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the apples to prevent them from browning.

plump up ½ cup of raisins. do this by soaking them in hot tap water, covered, and letting them stand for a few minutes. drain well and add them to the apples pieces.

thinly slice about 3 stalks of celery, and add to the salad.

add ½ cup of walnuts, although i prefer to use macadamia nuts instead, your choice…

in a bowl, mix ½ cup of mayonnaise with 3 teaspoons of sugar and then stir through the salad, coating all the ingredients.

a fresh, crunchy and chewy salad, perfect for hot summer days.
