For a lighter Waldorf Salad, substitute Greek yogurt for half of the mayonnaise. Enhance the nutty flavor by toasting the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant and lightly browned. Be sure to let them cool before adding to the salad. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add an extra teaspoon of sugar or a drizzle of honey to the dressing. For a variation, consider adding other fruits like grapes or blueberries, or swapping walnuts for pecans or almonds. To prevent the apples from browning, toss them with a little lemon juice immediately after dicing.
