In this healthy rendition of the classic salad, nonfat yogurt replaces mayonnaise. It also includes fewer walnuts -- and these are toasted to bring out their flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 red apple, such as McIntosh or Red Delicious, unpeeled, cored, and coarsely chopped

  • 1 green apple, such as Granny Smith or Crispin, unpeeled, cored, and coarsely chopped

  • 2 stalks celery, cut into thin half-moons

  • 3 ounces (about ½ cup) red grapes

  • 3 ounces (about ½ cup) green grapes

  • 1 lemon

  • 6 tablespoons plain nonfat yogurt

  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1 bunch (about 1 pound) Bibb or Boston lettuce, washed and torn into bite-size pieces

  • ¼ cup walnuts, toasted and chopped

  • Chives, for garnish

Directions

  1. Place apples, celery, and grapes in a medium bowl, and toss with juice of half the lemon. In another bowl, whisk together yogurt, mustard, honey, and juice of remaining half lemon. Pour half of the dressing over the apple mixture, tossing to combine. Serve over greens, drizzling remaining dressing over salad. Garnish the salad with chopped walnuts and snipped chives.
