METERS

Ingredients for Waldorf Salad:

– 1 1/2 pieces of green apple (or apple)

– 5 seedless grapes, cut in half

– 1 teaspoon(s) of lemon (juice)

– 1 cup(s) of celery

– 1/2 cup(s) coarsely chopped walnuts

Yogurt sauce ingredients:

– 1 jar(s) of natural yogurt

– 1/2 cup(s) of mayonnaise

– salt to taste

Ingredients for serving:

– iceberg lettuce to taste (or romaine lettuce)

– extra virgin olive oil to taste (drizzle)

– salt to taste

PREPARATION:

1. If you want to serve this salad as an appetizer, prepare half the recipe.
2. In the original recipe the walnuts are all mixed into the salad, in this version we have chosen to add 2/3 of the walnuts to the salad and reserve the rest for decoration.
3. If you want to use homemade mayonnaise, start by preparing it. See options Here.
4. Separate the ingredients and utensils for the recipe.
5. Coarsely chop the walnuts with your hands and, if you prefer, place them in a non-stick pan, place it on a low heat and, stirring, toast lightly: this will allow the walnuts to release all their fragrance in the salad.
6. Wash the celery, remove the large filaments and cut it into thin slices.
7. Wash the grapes (optional) and cut them in half lengthwise.
8. Wash the apples, but do not cut them yet.
9. Wash the lettuce and soak it in a sodium hypochlorite solution.

PREPARATION:

Yogurt sauce:

1. Place the yogurt in a bowl and beat it with a fork or a whisk until you obtain a smooth mixture.
2. Add the mayonnaise and beat again to incorporate.
3. Check and adjust the salt.
4. Book.

Waldorf Salad:

1. Arrange the apples on a cutting board, do not peel them, cut them in half and remove the central part with the cores. Then cut them into regular cubes.
2. Transfer them into a bowl, squeeze them directly with the lemon juice to prevent them from oxidizing and mix.
3. Add the grapes (optional) and celery and mix again.
4. Add nuts: Here you choose to add all or 2/3 of the amount.
5. Drizzle with the yogurt sauce and mix gently again.
6. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:

1. When serving, remove the lettuce from the hypochlorite solution and wash it under running water.
2. Dry with paper towels or use a salad spinner.
3. Arrange the lettuce around a plate or, if you prefer, directly on the plates.
4. Season the lettuce with a little salt and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
5. Remove the Waldorf salad from the fridge and distribute in the center of the lettuce.
6. Decorate (optional) with the remaining chopped walnuts.
