The Waldorf Salad is a true classic that’s been around for over 100 years.
Originally the salad only contained apples, celery and mayonnaise.
Modern versions of a Waldorf Salad sometimes add chicken, dried fruit, seasoned mayonnaise or a yogurt dressing.
The possibilities are endless!
Of course, that means I can make a few simple changes to make it Weight Watchers friendly.
Obviously using regular mayonnaise would add quite a few points, so I used a combination of light mayonnaise and fat-free sour cream.
That small change saved 24 points!
I also reduced the number of walnuts to help save points.
How to make a Waldorf Salad:
To start, I chopped up the fruit. I used two red apples, you can also use granny smith if you prefer.
I used two cups of red grapes that I cut in half. You can use green grapes if you prefer.
Clean off one celery stack and chop that. Add everything to a large bowl.
Add two tablespoons of walnuts to a zip-up bag. Seal the bag and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to break the walnuts into small pieces. Pour the walnuts into the fruit bowl.
In a small bowl mix together the light mayonnaise, fat-free sour cream, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
You can use fat-free Greek yogurt instead of fat-free sour cream if you prefer.
Pour the dressing over the fruit, celery and walnuts. Mix everything together and chill for 1 hour then serve.
