I've made this salad many times. Well, it's about time I share it!!
I love waldorf salad but hate all the calories. Or worse yet, not knowing how bad the calories are!
This salad is light, refreshing and simply delicious! I love the orange flavor, it's a surprise to everyone who tries it. I always get positive reviews when I make this.

What a great combination. This sounds really good. I have made a low calorie Waldorf salad myself with curry. I will have to give yours a try.

ReplyDeletei usually have extra apples after making my freezer full of smoothies. usually they sit on the counter and go bad. now i know what to do with them! i really need to be better about not wasting food.
Wow, I never would have thought of using orange in a waldorf salad. I think I'll give this recipe a shot using plain yogurt and orange zest. Thank you for submitting to Two for Tuesday.

ReplyDeleteHey Debs! Lovely summer potluck salad! I have most of the fixings to make this, but would use whole mayo and full fat yogurt with some orange juice mixed in and a bit of honey. Just figuring it out as I go along, but now I am craving it! :) Thanks for posting on the two for tuesday recipe blog hop! :) Alex@amoderatelife
