A refreshing salad with an interesting taste. Fresh, crisp apples and celery combine with the nuttiness of chopped walnuts and the sweetness of raisins to make a great salad for you, the family, or a gathering or potluck. The simple dressing is easy and low-cal. Ingredients:
235 g apple (1.5 apples) |
2 tbsp lemon juice |
145 g celery (4 large stalks) |
80 g raisins |
48 g walnuts |
2 tbsp kraft miracle whip free nonfat |
2 tbsp lemon juice |
1 dash of salt, plus a non-calorie sweetener |
Directions:
1. Dice the apples, and toss with 2 tbsp of lemon juice (to prevent the apples from browning).
2. Chop the celery and add to the apples.
3. Crush/chop walnuts if necessary, then add walnuts and raisins to the apples and celery.
4. Dressing: Combine 2 tbsp of nonfat miracle whip or mayonnaise (15 cal per tbsp) with 2 tbsp of lemon juice and some sweetener (I used stevia), to taste. Dressing should be tart, but faintly sweet. Add a dash of salt if necessary.
5. Toss salad with dressing.
6. NOTE: If making a day or two in advance, reserve the walnuts until just before serving (they can get a bit soft sometimes if left to soak in the dressing for too long). This salad is great once it has 'marinated' in the dressing overnight.
